Directory of libraries (8.2 ini file/preferences)

I would like to move the folders from the library and I found in the help files for the option to change the directory of the library, but it does not appear in the preferences window, and add nothing to the labview.ini does nothing.  Is this a problem with the documentation? Or it is just badly documented?

Hi Britoa,

You are right, the documentation does not, and I will give an account of what it is corrected for the future.  Library directory item was available in BT 8.0, but was removed in later versions.  For now, the best method if you want to move the library files must include the path under the VI search path in the paths Options Page.  Thank you for this knowledge!

  • Why can't I just copy a profile to another system in the directory profiles and modified the ini file

    My main system crashed. I have a copy of the profile. When I move a copy of the profile in the profiles folder and edit the ini file to use the new name, I get a message that there is an instance of thunderbird running and I need to shut it down. I don't see any instance of thunderbird anywhere in the Task Manager. It happens just for me the fact that I am also in firefox may be the cause of the problem to a running instance. I'm under V31.7.0

    I tried to simply move the mail directory in the existing profile. The thing is that I don't see the old messages. I can see all of the subfolders of the Inbox on the left but not messages in the right pain. I can see new messages, but it's all in the Inbox and not filtered to the subfolder.

    I tried to activate the function of multiple profile but that doesn't seem to work.

    MY BAD
    It seems that I had something that was bad in the profile. I got the profile from a backup and now Thunderbird works fine.

    Sorry that I missed the problem earlier.

  • Place the ini file in a specific location when the application generating

    Hello

    I have a little problem.  I have an ini file that I use to store some settings.  Lets call this app.ini file.  When I build the Application.exe, it puts this file in the data directory.  I was hoping that it would be at a higher level and be located in the same directory as Application.exe is (otherwise it will not read the file correctly.)  Looked at the settings of the Source file in the list of categories in the Properties window for the construction and all the 'Identical to the appellant' Destination, but he did not where I wanted.  I would really like this file to a directory higher when I do my build so that my application to read correctly.  Any suggestions?

    I use this executable then when I do my Installer and the problem just spreads here also, not good.

    One way to solve the problem:

    (1) in the build Properties window, select Destinations and create a new destination. Select the same directory where the exe file will be stored as 'Path of Destination'

    (2) assign this destination in the .ini file.

    Let me know if it works

  • using the .ini file created by EXE

    First of all I would like to say that I have a thorough knowledge of the .ini files and the need for them.  My question is related specifically to the .ini file that is created with the executable.  I searched the forum but have not found any instance of my question specifically.  After installation, the .exe and .ini are placed in my working directory in Program Files, which I expected.  The .ini file that is created is attached.

    Now, I would like to point to a different .ini that stores control settings.  I did it in the App generator under Advanced > Use Custom Config File.  That's fine and dandy, but the network, web, settings etc that have been created in the original .ini does not get included in my new .ini.  If my option is to use an .ini file separated with my control as well as created by the .exe parameters.  This seems redundant.

    My question is: does nothing my executable with the .ini file that is created when it starts to run?  I'd be OK NOT to have attached items if I wanted to point to a custom .ini file?  Why create an .ini with these specific settings file if the .exe does nothing with them?

    The only article I found is this one

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5467F7D7895835C186256FAF00600A21?OpenDocument

    but it does not explain what the .exe is done with it, if anything.  I guess you have a total control over the .ini and there is nothing "automatic / backstage" going on here.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Why remind you the application builder to a custom INI file if you are going to have to read the chips inside manually anyway?  The reason to use a custom within the app Builder INI file is so that you can include specific parameters of execution (VI, access list server, port etc.) which are different from the settings using the LabVIEW development environment.

    You need not key in the INI file for your run-time application (as evidenced by the fact that if you delete the INI file, your exe will still works, creating a new INI file with default values).  If you leave the defaults, the application adds in the first leg in any case.

    You can store your own data in the same INI file used by the executable file; just put the keys in a different section.  LabVIEW Config File format INI files screws slightly differently (for example adding spaces around the = sign), but I didn't know it causes problems.

  • the Boot.ini file is missing

    Miss me the boot.ini file, but I don't have a disc of xp files because windows xp is installed.  Should I buy windows xp to resolve this problem?

    First of all, make sure that you have not left a CD/DVD in a drive that is checked for an operating system before the system partition of the hard drive. If there's nothing there, you should be able to repeat your BOOT. INI file.

    XP BOOT. INI file resides in the root directory of the drive system (usually c :)). This is a simple text file, but marked as hidden. If you have another computer, you can create or copy one from a computer with a similar setup to yours (for example boot from C:, Windows XP files in c:\Windows, etc.).

    The following can be copied into Notepad and saved to create a simple BOOT. INI file.
    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect
    If you have access to another computer, consider mount the hard drive broke as a slave and creation/copy of a BOOT. INI file in the root.
  • Dell order | Configure the utility crashing & empty INI files

    "I'm using the" Dell order | Set up' utility 3.0 (formerly called the "Dell Client Configuration Toolkit") to set the setting in the BIOS for all our Dell business machines.
    We have a mixture of models of desktop & laptop.

    The utility is of course most of the working models, but will not properly work on some models.
    I am trying to use the "-o" option to create an "output file" with the current BIOS settings.

    1. when I try to run the utility with the "o" option on an Optiplex 745 or 755, the ini file produced is white with only the header and machine model number.
    None of the parameters are saved in the ini file product.

    2. when I try to run the utility with the "o" option on a Precision Workstation T5400, the utility just blocks a second after it is loaded. He never even finished running in order to produce any type of output of ini file.

    All models, including those with questions mentioned above, have the latest available BIOS version installed.

    Could you please help me to get this utility runs successfully on these three models with questions?
    I need to be able to configure them correctly in mass.

    Thank you.

    The command utility set up does not support OptiPlex 745 and 755 in accordance with the manual in the installation directory. This is the main reason, I always use the old CCTK since we have several 745 and 755 in production.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - invalid boot.ini file message at boot

    Hello

    Don't know where to start.
    I want to just run Office 2003 from my Satellite Pro. Had problems with the HDD so I decided to format using the recovery discs.

    Now, when I start the machine initially I get the following message: * invalid boot.ini file. Starting from c:\windows.*
    After a minute or so, the following message appears. * missing or corrupted system32.hal.dll file *.

    Any ideas how to fix this please?

    Hello

    Looks like the laptop cannot start the Windows operating system and a few files damaged or are missing.
    In your case, I would try to reinstall new OS.
    Format the whole HARD drive and try again.

    If the second installation does not help, then a HARD drive should be checked may be that you need a replacement.

  • Tecra M7: Unable to create recovery CD: lack CDDVD.ini - INI file load error: RDC_info.ini

    I recently bought a Tecra M7, but the system does not include recovery media, just a recovery partition and a recovery disk creator.

    However, when I try to run the Recovery Disc Creator, he responds with "error loading INI file: C:\Program Files\Sonic\RecordNow!\RDC_info.ini.

    I opened this file in an attempt to determine the error, but the content simply refer to a file named CDDVD.ini. I looked everywhere in the hard, even mounted the recovery Partition, but could not find this file.

    Search on Google, I found that this case is regularly brought disappeared, and that without it, the recovery media cannot be created. A person said Tech Support by sending an email the file, another was sent by another user.

    In both cases, the user was immediately able to make records. In any case, there seems to be a standard file, referring to the "Add_info.ini" (Application and drivers disks) and "Rec_info.ini" (OS Recovery Disk), fairly uniform and unchanging across all systems that use this method to create discs.

    Please, could someone email me them or post it here so we can all see?
    If/when I get this file, once I determined it works I post here.

  • problem updating the ini file ini file

    I get the ip address of the user's input and to replace the old IP in the .ini to the last ip address file but the problem is when a user enter the IP and I write it in my ini file it does not at once, but if I do it twise in calling the same function of my command button twise then my ini file is updated , it is the strage iniwrite function returnes success although on first attempt. I checked with breakpoint, but when I do it twise, then it is done, please guide me in detail, I am really amayzed by this strange behavior...

    I already gave you the exact order of the functions in my previous message!

    Ini file tool generates an object in memory that allows you to store and locate the values. This object can be filled in reading a file on the disk; Similarly, it can be saved to a file on disk. This is the very first operation and the last to perform if you want a picture to date of your values on the disk. There are three layers to consider:

    1. The file on the disk

    2. The IniText object in memory

    3. The variables specific to your program

    With this in mind, the right order to update the file on the disk so that it reflects the value that your variables have in memory is:

    Ini_New create the object in memory

    Ini_ReadFromFile fill it with the contents of the disc

    Ini_get('sendmail_from') read of the idebugprogramnode2 memory in your program variables

    Here tou can update the values of program

    Ini_Put update the object of memory with the contents of your variables

    Ini_WriteToFile save everything on the disc

    Memory Ini_Dispose clear

    As you save on disk before you call the Ini_Put functions, the disk image is not updated

  • Noise DC value of the ini file values

    Hello

    I am trying to build a generator of signals (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square random noise, DC). I managed to get the job of waveform using the signal generator of NOR built based on VI. but I want to add the DC case that I managed to do. but I want the values (magnitude and frequency) to be in an ini file. My idea is manual sets the values in the file, once I run the vi and select the case of DC noise, it should read the file values and the data output and once I have stop, it records the values of dc before returning.

    So, I'm stuck trying to figure how to do this. I hope that I was clear enough. I don't have a code to view since I haven't started yet coding on this part. Help, please.

    Clearly enough explained.

    Take a look at the screw configuration file, found in e/s from file > Config File live. There also many examples n the community, as well as in the Finder of the example, illustrating the use of these. A good starting point is the sample Configuration settings file write example Finder, and reading Configuration settings file.

    Your .ini file will look something like this, once created:

    [DC noise settings]

    Amplitude = 1.234567

    Frequency = 8.901234

    This is equivalent to:

    [Name of section]

    Key 1 = value

    Button 2 = value

    When asked to read a specific key in a certain section, VI only through the file for the named section, and then search for they key the name you provided it. Remember, you will need to know what type of data is when you read back.

    You can use VI writing to modify specific keys in specific sections as soon as you close the file.

    This is one of a multitude of methods, you can use to do this, but are probably the simplest.

  • .Ini file reading chart

    I need to read in a short array of strings from a file. I don't want to add other files and I was wondering if there was an easy way to read an array of strings from an ini file. Given that this is a dozen channels up, I guess I could do brute force:

    [TABLE]

    1 = "string 1".

    ...

    2 = 'string of 12. '

    Is there a way mo betta?

    Thaniks,

    JVH

    I just put the picture of the string in a key, comma delimited:

    StringArray = xxxx, yyyy, zzzz

    When I read the key, I add a return to it and treat it like a string of worksheet.

    Edit:

    It's probably a good idea to put strings in quotation marks, in case you have commas in strings.

  • INI file with the characters multibyte to the language question

    Hello

    I am doing research on several language support in our CVI programs.
    I'm new to programming multibyte, as always I coded it in English so far.

    I found the Interface Localizer and have played around with translating my GUI controls. That works well, except on the title bar that is displayed in one code other than the language, I translate. But it will not work for messages popup or dynamic views.

    I read a few white papers. I'm not too worried about Run Time messages, for the most part, I'm worried about specific incentive program and the GUI.

    I've seen several topics suggesting using an external INI file to translate specific messages in my program. So I tried to create an ini file that uses Unicode and a Chinese character.
    When I call Ini_NumberOfSections using this INI file, my software returns a number of sections 0 when there is, in fact, the 1 article. This happens if I format my INI file in any format other than ANSI, Unicode.

    So my question is simple: how to read an INI file and specifically the tag, using characters to multibyte to Unicode?

    Is this a setting? Or I have to write my own read INI and the analysis of function?

    Thank you very much.

    Ok

    I finished my first step in the R & D. Here's what I know:

    I tried several formatting options, including XML, TXT, CSV and XLSX (Excel).

    With the help of the CVIXML is not an option (the less the way I tested it) since it does not accept Unicode in CVI. I did a little research and found out how to configure my XML file to Unicode, but whenever I try to read using CVIXML, the result is a failure. So I gave up this process.

    A .csv file is not a good option, because of how the file behaves in Excel. With characters Unicode, the file does not open as expected, and all my data is in the first column. If you are strictly using a text editor such as Notepad, you can read the .csv file and use it in CVI. The only issue is that you must compensate for the multiple byte characters, which I did not. So, because of the tampering of the .csv, I eliminated it as an option.

    So here's the solution I came up with that. I use the Excel Report commands (via excelreport.fp in toolslib).

    Using this method I can format my language options in Excel, view my Unicode characters and still open as planned in the CVI.  I just have to open my Excel file and load all the options of language in memory, and then close the Excel file.

    The only caviats are speed and Unicode does not appear correctly if your operating system is configured in a non-unicode format. This isn't a problem but it's a windows setting. In my typical American, unicode characters appear as? But if I change my localized language to, for example, Chinese then unicode is displayed normally.

    So, for now, this is the solution I've identified. Thanks for the tips. I hope that others will find it useful.
