• Application Builder: the Application closes after the Launcher

  I'm launching my application executable that was built with the Application Builder. I use framework actor and have a Launcher.vi which is defined as the start VI and launched the actor parent. When I run the executable, I can see the front Launcher.vi opens and closes quickly, but the main façade never opens. Where should I start to debug my executable? Is there something obvious that I do not forget to do? I compared my configuration of the application to the actor framework example (that does not produce an executable work) and can not find something that is different.

  OK, I thought about it. I went back and watched closer launcher for the example of master actor and I noticed the block launch actor VI didn't have "Open front actor Core" value true which seemed strange because the front opens correctly for this application. I searched in VI properties for the parent of project example actor Core.vi and saw that the appearance of the window has a custom configuration. The options to see the façade when called and then close while initially closed have been verified in the sample project but unchecked for my project. I also watched the run settings and saw that the example is configured to reentrant run clone Shared while my project is configured to run not reentrant.

  Changing the appearance of window correctly launching my main façade. I played with the run settings to see what those and noticed that when my VI is configured to not reentrant run, child actors do not seem to get started. In addition, the stop on my front button will close the front panel, but the application is still running. Change the mode to Shared clone lance child actors correctly and completely closes the application when you press the stop button. I also tried clone reentrancy pre-allocated to see what would happen. errors of launcher just immediately say the call by reference VI is not executable.

  I guess it makes sense. Framework of the actor expects that the State is not maintained when a player is destroyed, so shared clone ensures that each instance of a child actor has its own pool of memory to be erased when the player is stopped. http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvconcepts/reentrancy/

• Application Builder Question: How to get several .exe files in one version?

  I am trying to release a LV 2010 application composed of a high level VI (Main.vi), and a number of dynamically called live contacting one using functional global variables (and a few classic global variables).

  One of the dynamic subVIs (Second.vi) can in fact be used independently of Main.vi (and often will). I wish it were available as a .exe, but I would like to be able to communicate with Main.exe if is started after Second.exe. Is - it somehow possible?

  It seems to me that I must write two screws as independent applications (and release them as such, but in the same folder of the application) and find another way to enable the exchange of data between the two (which, I have no idea). Is there an easier way, I'm missing? The two screws as high level screws in the Build specification will do almost what I want, but not quite, since it in order to open the two screws little important if I want to run only the Main.vi or Second.vi only (and of course only show the single .exe file in the application folder).

  You could do this by using the arguments passed to the exe.  This document gives an example "past of Arguments to a LabVIEW executable".  I just think, you can create shortcuts in the Application Builder, but you will need to generate them buy a post running installation tool.

• Application builder cannot build the exe. Error 8 has occurred in AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi-> AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi

  I bought a new Dell laptop (Windows 10 Pro) and LV 2015 (32-bit) is installed. I copied my project files and tried to build the exe file and received the error 8. After much searching for an answer, I created a minimal test with just a single white vi project and an exe based build spec to reproduce the error with. Whenever I try to build, I get the same error 8:

  An error occurred during the generation of the application. You don't have the appropriate permissions to create the application at the specified location, or the application is in use.

  Invoke the node in AB_Engine_Build_Method_Wrapper.vi-> AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi-> AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi-> AB_UI_Frmwk_Build.lvclass:Build.vi-> AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi-> AB_Item_OnDoProperties.vi-> AB_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller
  
  Method name: Build: Application

  Error 8 has occurred to AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi-> AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi

  Possible reasons:

  LabVIEW: File permission error. You do not have the correct permissions for the file.

  I can't quite imagine I could have permissions issues. I of course have full admin on the machine privileges.

  I've seen other messages (like this one) who speak to have Windows Explorer opened the path of construction when it tries to go up and get this error. I made double sure that I don't have ANY Windows Open Windows Explorer, trying to build. There was a mention in one of the positions which perhaps of LabVIEW in current directory is defined in the file generation, but I'm not quite what that means, or why that might happen when there isn't usually prevents me to build on other machines.

  I tried the procedure described in the KB, but no help.

  Interestingly, I have created a virtual machine (Win 10) for a different project and installed LV 2015 32 bits in the virtual machine, and all my applications build very well in the virtual machine. But on OS from my physical machine, I get this error 8 for all construction applications.

  I tried to fix LabVIEW, and also I tried to uninstall reinstall LabVIEW. Nor was the error to go away completely. After the repair, the project has successfully generated once. But subsequent attempts to build fail with the same error.

  See the attached test project and the build log.

  My best guess is that some external process is the use of the folder and do not let you write here. The most likely candidates are anti-virus software or a service of indexation of a certain type. I'm guessing that he sometimes managed everything simply because it is a race condition and in these cases, the blocking part yet or is already done.

  You could try the building to a network drive, when these forces are less likely to be able to make the lock or you could try to find a software that shows you what software has handles opened in a folder and control for an offender. I seem to remember that the Process Explorer and SIW show this, but it's far from my area of expertise.

• 1 error in writing on a text - installer with Application Builder file

  I wrote an installer using the Application Builder to install the runtime engine that allows any computer without LabVIEW to run an .exe program. Setup runs and installs engine race and then as a .exe VI. When it is done installing, the .exe VI opens automatically.

  An error appears when the .exe opens and says "1 error in writing to a text file". If the user clicks on the error that it can run the program without problem, it converts file formats in a file .lvm. Automatically, it generates a new file name and saves the file in the same directory, but with a different name.

  Why did it only happen when opening first upward? The program tries to run when it automatically opens? Is there a file path residual left in the program that trys to run first, before that the user put his own file path in the program?

  I am semi new to labVIEW (a few months) and that nothing shows that would create this error at the beginning of the program.

  Thank you

  Hi Scott,.

  Well, you could model a little VI and turn on debugging highlighted to test your idea!

  THINK THE STREAM!

  How a Boolean entry should WAIT for the action of the user? It should be read according to the stream!

  What this small pseudo-code:

  REPEAT
  
    Wait (50ms)
  
  Until the button

  Or how about an event in the user queue structure?

• application builder error.llb

  Hi all

  I use the application builder to compile an executable from my VI. Compilation works without a hitch.

  However, when I try to launch the .exe subvis are missing three of error.llb: not found Dialog.vi, Dialog.vi to view details and the value string Value.vi

  The compiled .exe seems to be looking for these screws in instr.lib, which is not found in the compilation folder.

  This occurs even on my machine for development, on which, of course, the VI works well since in LabView.

  I missed something during the configuration of the compiler?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  I had this before, and it was reported by OR as a bug that just load a project that was built in an old version of LabVIEW and creating an application thereof. For me it was to load a project LV8.5 in 8.6.

  The only solution was to add the three missing from vi to the project and make sure that they are added to the list always included in the application builder.

  You will find these vi NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\error.llb program. Simply add them to your project, somewhere, and then in the application Builder makes sure that select you them as always included in the source files section, and then rebuild your application.

• Application builder appears complete but does not create executable not

  I'm working on a major project (~ 5000 screws, LV2011 SP1, Win7 32 bit) and have recently from problems with the Application Builder. This is after 3-4 years of success is based on this project...

  When I try to build my application of following higher level occurs:

  1. "build status' window opens as usual and starts the processing of my file:

  

  2. Subsequently, the progress bar reaches about halfway and the message becomes "Compilation."... » :

  

  3. then the progress bar jumps sharply at the end and the message becomes "Save...". ». In addition, the 'Done' button becomes active, as if the build is completed. The window remains like this for always. Notes on this dialog box:

  • The 'Explorer' and 'Help' buttons work normally in this State.
  • If I press the 'Done' button (or close the window with the Red 'X') then the window closes but Labview is suspended. The only way out of here is to kill the process in Task Manager.

  

  4. If I sail in my generation folder so I see temporary build files are still sitting here, i.e. the manufacturer failed to create my exe...

  

  When I turn on logging, I see that all the files seem to be treated successfully (in comparison with a previous successful build log), but the paper stops before writing the article ' [output file Version]]... ".

  Anyway - I'm trying to restore a large number of small changes to see if I can isolate that my changes of code causing the problem.

  Someone out there knows what could cause request the manufacturer to get as much as he does, thinking it's done (even if this isn't the case)?

  Thanks for all the ideas...

  Well - I finally managed to isolate the problem... Corrupted code is attached!

  
  

  The attached code is a version of a dialog box that is used in my project. The question turned out to be associated with the order by radio inside the tab control:

  • If you open the library and then try to REMOVE the two controls private library (simultaneously), then you are greeted with the accident below report. NOTE: Remove the private items one-at-a-time does not cause the accident. (weird...)
  • The same happens if you try to rename the library

  

  The solution:

  • The inclusion of this library in my project was originally my application build will fail every time.
  • Given that the report mentions "RadioClust.cpp", I made the amazing jump that the question has been connected with the radio control... so I just unplugged all instances of this control their typedef. That seems to have fixed!

  ASIDE: I have not checked if including this library in a different application will cause his generation to not too... Something to try out a rainy day!

• Application Builder takes a lot of time and the Popup messages during construction

  Hi all

  My request is slightly larger with over 300 of VI. Between the build process that I receive pop-up messages requesting files from the library GMath etc... are changes u want to save the files... ? When you click on OK button it starts to save these files of the library and when he saves nearly half the number of files in the grave application builder fails and causes LabVIEW close. As the build process takes more than 2 hours and the final result is always a unsuccessful construction due to the accident of application builder I am wasting my time.

  Kind regards

  Here's what I'd do:

  • Open the main VI
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Run to recompile all the screws in memory
  • Wait until the end
  • Save all the

  If there is, repeat for each dynamic called screw

• Application builder adds files additional select instr.lib

  Hello

  When I build my application, the Application Builder decides she needs to include additional directories instead of the default files (data directory and .aliases, .exe, .ini files). The additional directories include files that are named the same in the different instr.lib but in different libraries, for example Close.vi or Initialize.vi. Is there in my project without dependencies unresolved Explorer. Does anyone know why this might happen?

  I have marked just the name of the company in blue if you were wondering.

  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  If you use 2009 or more, there is an option to use the 8.X for the executable format.  This is one of the advanced options in the build specification.  You don't want to do.  In format 8.X, the screws are registered in the executable as a flat directory.  This means that no matter what VI which was the same, regardless of the library, named association would conflict.  This would cause these libraries be saved outside the executable.

  If you use the new format, the executable file maintains a hierarchy of directories, just like a zip file.  So you'll have name conflicts in this instance.

• LabView Application Builder, FieldPoint-> Programmabsturz beim Aufstarten einer erzeugten EXE-Datei

  Hallo, habe folgendes problem:

  Wenn ich das Programm aus meiner Entwicklungsumgebung aus Starte works are properly.

  Testweise habe ich auch schon die Entwickungsumgebung auf dem neuen Zielrechner installed, auch dann so mein Programm wenn ich're manuell von sleeps aus starte. Kann ich beim ruler der Exe-Datei noch was please gemacht haben? Aber warum die EXE-Datei dann ab und zu works?

  Hi ralfn,

  Thank you for the information on Hyperthreading.

  The new PC contains a CPU dualprocessor.

• missing application builder files

  Hi all

  I'm new to LabView and I'm trying to deploy an application as an executable file. I'm under LabView 2009 on Win XP Pro. I have the application builder and ran the application Builder tutorial. The tutorial has worked, but do the same steps on my project which called screws of several different libraries did not work. I'm not trying to build an installer again, just a stand alone executable running on a machine with the LabView run already installed calendar. I don't ask anything by reference, all Sub screws are called explicitly.

  The VI I'm deploying thin works running in LabView. Application successfully Builder generates an executable file. When the executable is run, it appears a dialog looking for a bunch of sub box face. I have attached a copy of the executable invites me for a sub - VI contained in the vi.lib

  First, is there a user manual or something like that for Application Builder? LabView help describes how to create a stand-alone executable, but not described all the settings in detail. I probably just one of the wrong settings.

  Any ideas or suggestions on what to try next?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Turns out you can't build project applications in the instr.lib folder. I moved the project to the folder instr.lib and the builder application worked well.

• Application builder bands DLL

  Hello

  I have a project that controls a piezo stage. This is done via a DLL from the manufacturer, and I used the wizard 'Import-> Shared Library' to make a library lvlib in the user.lib folder. The lvlib folder contains a bunch of screws and two DLLs (a manufacturer and I think come from LabView: wdapi1120.dll).

  The screws of this project are now being used in another project which brings together several projects material control. The lvlib file appear correctly under this meta-project dependencies.

  I then tried to build a stand-alone executable, but the manufacturer request stripped away of the two DLLs from the lvlib: wdapi1120.dll. This leads to two error messages (see images). The workaround I found is to uncheck "additional Exclusions-> Remove unused members of the libraries in the project" so it works now.

  But I wonder, why the application builder strips way a DLL file that was placed there by before LabView? I guess he's checking the references. So if there is no reference, why must she then?

  My feeling is that I'm missing something here if all clearification would be great.

  This DLL is not a LabVIEW DLL but your first DLL dependency. And this DLL was only placed by LabVIEW in the lvlib if there is any explicitedly VI accessing it. Otherwise, it has been added in there by which it is created the driver and LabVIEW interface.

  Given that your project does not call any VI that refers to this the application builder DLL determines that it is not used and deletes if you check the option according to. Cannot be generic for LabVIEW determine that your DLL must this second other than reimpleminting all Windows executable DLL loader in LabVIEW, which is certainly beyond the scope of what LabVIEW should never try.

• LV Application Builder: fixed error "the system cannot find the file specified."?

  Hi all

  I don't mind banging my head out of something that feels complex, but it's still frustrating to be baffled by something that seems simple... I have LabVIEW 2014 and Application Builder. I've built a program that works perfectly as a VI, and then compiles and runs without fault as a .exe. But I can't get the installer to work. I get the following error:

  

  The suggestions in this thread and this KB article, I created a new specification to build installer, then a new application build spec, then a new project with all my screws in, build and test setup at each stage. None of this seems to make a difference.

  I ran the installer as an administrator, I created the Advanced installation directories (in which case it does not have the privileges to create folders) and built an installer without the performance in. None of this worked either. Finally, I played a bit with put all my subVIs in a library.

  So I guess it's a quirk in my program from the tutorial worked. Does anyone have any experience or advice on what specific aspects of a piece of Nice program with AB installers? It is a primary VI, less than a dozen, some Type Defs and no material integration subVIs. Seems to be a program fairly simple and straightforward, but maybe something in it is persona non grata with Application Builder?

  Are you running in deep subfolders with long folder names and file names? Perhaps some of the paths are getting too much time managing?

• Application Builder error

  Hello

  I use LV 8.6 and Application Builder. My Labview vi uses some third party vi to control a linear motor. The vi works well not respected. Can I complie an exe without errors, but when I run the exe, (on the same PC), I get the below error. (Connect.vi is the third party VI used to start communication with the motor). In this case with my vi and vi example of a third. I also have an exe from one of the vi from the engine supplier that works.

  On the error, I don't know why he mentioned NEITHER-488, I've never used (I don't think) so why it causes an error?

  Thank you

• Application builder does not

  Hi people.

  I can't build this application. When I try and open it I get the following error (also attached).

  Exception: Access to EIP Violation (0xC0000005) = 0x772D8E19

  Version: 1.0.0.0

  When I run like a VI in labview, it works very well without any problems, but when I build it with the application builder I can not open the .exe file.

  The project is only 1 VI, which opens an executable file from the command line, implements a few keys to generate a QR code in the file called, then cropps it and saves it.

  Is this something to do with how I'm building the application. If it works in labview surely it should work when built.

  I've built other projects from the command line, use the .exe and they open very well, but I can't talk about it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Select this option.

  Code too sequential sems with many duplicate ode and it uses 100% of CPU core when doing nothing. There should be a small wait in the case of fake of big business structure. Couldn't you mix together into a single table U8 once and use a single autoidenxing FOR loop? Code would take on a postcard! I would use also "build path" to create paths.

  In any case, why the UIBC use a relative path ("...) "" "\Windows\System32\user32.dll")? Try changing it to 'user32.dll' instead.
