Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?

Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?
I have successfully installed working deployments to target machines. However, I was expecting to see the installation listed as "My TestStand System A" in my start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?
Also, if I peform a different second deployment to the target station like "My TestStand System B", all of the LabVIEW files from my previous installation for "My TestStand System A" disappear from the target directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand System A).
I am using TestStand 4.2.1 Professional on the development station with Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Paul,
That solved my second problem and inspired me to search deeper for the answer to my first problem. The answer is in the "Distributed Files" tab, "installer properties", "Create a Program Item" checkbox:
Wouldn't it be nice if this was automatically checked by default for the main sequence files? Wouldn't it also be nice if "Upgrade Code" was automatically regenerated by default whenever we saved the *.tsd file under a different name?
Thanks again,
Eugene

    How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • TestStand Deployment Installer Media Spanning

    I am creating an installer from the TestStand Deployment Utility. There is a media spanning option that permits selection of various media sizes: CD, extended CD, DVD, etc... I have created a deployment / installer (659MB) that exceeds the threshold for the standard CD (650MB). I would expect 2 volumes to be created in the deployment /installer build directory: Volume 1 and Volume 2. This is not the case, only Volume 1 is created, it exceeds the 650MB limit.
    Thanks.

    dpg -
    Were you able to test this with a custom media size like 250 MB? Both Shawn and I were able to get the 650 MB and 250 MB media spanning scenarios working. I'd like to rule out the possibility that your deployment is so close to 650 MB cutoff that the media is not being separated into 2 volumes.
    If the custom media size (250 MB) case also fails for you, then we will have a better idea of what might be causing this.

  • Hi, why doesn't any of the Adobe show under "All Programs"???

    None of the Adobe Air Flashdrive or Reader show in my list under "All Programs" from start menu?   WHY????

    Oh my, I am losing it...sorry it is Adobe Flash Player and then also Adobe Air...Never have used either.  
    This is very convoluted...plus, I cannot remove Adobe Readers (two versions) from Change/Remove in control panel.  A government web site states I can only use version X, but there is no way at all to download X now that the XI is there.

  • Lync showing messages as "unread" in start menu.

    Hello.
    I have a very annoying issue with Lync.
    It shows my messages from my contacts as "unread" in the start menu.
    To clarify:
    So this is what it looks like when I hold over the lync icon on the start bar.
    This is extremly annoying since I can have upto 10-15 active convos at a time.
    As you can see some of them "work", they dont glow when I have read the message.
    I makes it hard to know if I have received a new message.
    I have re-installed Lync 2 times, I have re-installed the entire office pack once. I have checked outlook(both client and webmail) if there is in some way stored conversations. 
    No luck.
    Thanks before hand! =)
    Regards
    Jesper

    Hi Jesper,
    I am not sure if I understand the problem you have.
    When a new message comes, the Lync icon in taskbar blinks.
    It is by design.

  • Why doesn't IP Adress, DNS, etc., show up on my ipod touch for my network w

    got my ipod touch a week ago. i have yet to be able to connect to internet. been to the airport twice in the last week. FULLLL wi-fi signal, still get that dang message saying it's not connected to the internet blah blah blah.
    so now i'm trying to connect to my home network. (that 2wire thing).
    it's the only network my ipod picks up and i know it's mine.
    sometimes the password workes, sometimes it doesn't.
    yesterday it sorta worked for a while. (i reset my router and had to set everything up again) but it would just say the server isn't responding.
    just now, i made sure to set the passwrd as the default and everything.
    and it says 'cannot join network.' or something like that, i forgot.
    MAIN THING:
    i noticed that when i click the blue arrow my network, all the info is blank, like the ip adress, dns, all that. yesterday when it seemed like it wuz attempting to work, for a little while, the ip adress,etc, showed up. not now. why's this?
    please and thank yooou![:
    P.S: yes i've tried everything that's suggested, restarting, forgetting netwrk, renewing lease,resetting settings, all that, many times.

    Regarding "public" wifi spots, like perhaps your airport, it may not be enough to choose that wifi point in Settings|Wi-Fi. or let the iPod choose it for you. (You'll get a signal to these, but that's not enough.)
    You may have to open Safari and try to access a site. At that point, the wifi provider will jump you to a login page where you either press an acknowledge button or have to provide other information. Once that's done, you are connected and can browse or use other apps that connect to the web. One warning, some spots (like my local mall) will block some ports, like email.
    For your local router, my blue arrow gives a page with ip, subnet mask, router, and other info filled in. What kind of router are you using and what type of security?

  • Why doesn't the "View image info" show how many frames are in animated gifs?

    When I right click on an image, then click "View Image Info" it used to show how many frames were included in an animated gif. This stopped working in Firefox 4. Why is that?

    I'm not too sure what I did but it works now.

  • HT201209 Why doesn't a gift card amount show in my account?  When I try to re-enter it said code already entered.  How do I get to the gift card amount?

    A couple things,
    First I redeemed a gift card I have and yet it doesn't show in my account.  I tried re-entering the code again and ofcourse I was advised the code had already been entered.  What do I do?
    Also, I entered another of my gift card codes and advised it was redeemed yet when I go to use my gift card credits it takes me to my regular billing information; credit card, etc.  How do I get the store to accept payment by my credits instead of my other billing information?

    For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • Why doesn't downloading images from chrome show up in my finder?

    It's happened every since I had this computer. I would download a file, most often an image file, doesn't matter if it's jpg, png, or gif, but it wouldn't show up whenever I looked for it in the finder. Is there a certain setting I have in place that is causing this? I don't know what to do. When I change my desktop background, however, I can see all the images I've downloaded from chrome, but I just can't seem to view them in the finder. It's really weird. Anyone have this problem?

    Check the downloads location.

  • Why doesn't my iPad Videos App show TV Show Episode Numbers?

    Dear everybody,
    Can you please help me with this issue, my iPad Videos app doesn't show TV Show episode numbers. They appear to be ordered correctly but shouldn't there be an episode number section?
    Here's the screnshot:
    http://tinypic.com/r/18kx09/6

    It's not designed to. It will only appear in Windows Explorer if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails, websites - in which case it will appear as a camera. Otherwise you get content on and off the iPad via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

  • Why doesn't the Recovery HD icon show in Startup Manager?

    Just wondering if this is a concern and as to why it wouldn't show when I go into Startup Manager?  Only option showing is my main drive or any plugged in.  I can get to the recovery w the command+R method and it shows in terminal that the recovery hd partition is there.  So why not show in the Startup Manager?  Please help!

    Change
    contentPane.add(textArea); // add the thing into the frameto
    contentPane.add(scrollPane)and it should appear
    Looking at your code you set the GridBagLayout manager to the ContentPane. You add the text area to the scrollpane and then try and specify the constraint of the textarea on the content pane, but its in the scrollpane. So you may want to change that too
    Note that:
    import java.io.*;
    will import any classes required in the * directory meaning that you don't need the following line.
    import java.io.IOException;
    The same goes for
    java.awt.*;
    java.awt.event.*;
    The java.lang package is imported as standard so you don't need to declare and import of this.

  • Why doesn't my iTunes account balance show?

    I'm using iTunes 10.4 with Lion.
    I'm sure the balance would be on the home page near the apple-id - but its not there.
    I am logged-in. I have logged-out and logged-in.
    Also (perhaps releated) - when I go to my account and click See All on my purchase history - it says 'temporarily unable to proceed. try later' - but that's been going on for several days.
    and why isn't it obvious how to report this to apple rather than bothering you good people?
    thanks, in advance.

    If you are in the U.S. you can call 1-888-320-3301 and follow the instructions. Balances shown in the account area of iTunes are from redeemed iTunes gift cards only.
    From here:    Apple - Apple Gift Cards
    To view purchase history. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account / Purchase History.

  • Why doesn't "on-the-go" playlist show up in the car?

    All the other playlists show up in my car but the new on-the-go playlist does not. So it's kind of an "on-the-go" playlist as long as you're not going in your car
    So, the only way to play the playlist is to use the iPhone's controls to start the playlist from within the Podcast app. Once it is playing the car seems to understand that it is within a playlist as I can correctly skip tracks backwards and forwards.
