Measurement Studio 2015 Installer creator vs WIX

What is the reasoning behind the development of the new measurement feature Studio Installer?  I have never had any problem using Wix for mixed deployment c#, C++ that use Measurement Studio products.  It just seems like an odd sense to send the development resources, opossed say, improve support WPF?  Or documentation of the product and samples for WPF?

Hi, Mark

The reasons that we have dedicated development resources by creating a builder application to install for Measurement Studio are:
1. Once Visual Studio has diminished in favour of their native installation project, the number of support requests involving the deployment of Measurement Studio has increased considerably.
2. Apart from the Setup project, the only other method of deployment which Measurement Studio is fully supported is Windows Installer XML (WiX), which was not well received by customers. Almighty, WiX has a steep learning curve, even to accomplish a simple deployment.
3 measurement Studio does not support InstallShield, among other popular solutions to WiX for the deployment.
4. the supported deployment methods, no guide customers what drivers OR and components attached to their application to ensure good run time behavior.

Builder installer helps to solve these problems and has already received positive feedback from many customers.

Please let us know if you have any other questions about the Builder installer; We would be happy to help you!

Thank you

  • Measurement Studio 2015 lack of reference to Assembly for "NumericControlCommands."

    I just migrated my project Studio 2012 measurement to Measurement Studio 2015 and udpated VS2013 references.  I get the following error in my XAML

    Type reference cannot find the named type ' {http://schemas.ni.com/controls/2009/xaml/presentation/primitives} NumericControlCommands'.

  • Measurment Studio 2015 Builder installer not conditioning not DLL Analysis.Professional

    Hello

    My application uses the package MS Anaylsis I want is not included in the Installer Setup Builder installer. I checked the "OR Measurement Studio Anaylysis .NET language runtime 2015 for .NET 4.5" in the Section of the driver NOR.

    After the execution of the installation on a machine of own generation Win8-64 my application generates a "could not find error Assembly" to "NationalInstruments.Anaylsis.Professional, 13.0.45.242 Version.

    A careful review of all available libraries does not suggest there is a more appropriate library to include in the build. My installation Builder is for a mixed environment, but my request is built as x 64.

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Thank you, Frank.

    Hi, Frank

    On your deployed machine, can you check the following directory and take a screenshot?

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\NationalInstruments.Analysis.Professional

    It is possible that this happens because your application was built against the 13.0.45.242 version of NationalInstruments.Analysis.Professional, but the version installs the 15.0.45.49153 OR Measurement Studio analysis .NET Language Runtime install. If this is the case, you can do two things:

    • (Recommended) Rebuild your application against the Measurement Studio .NET assemblies 2015 versions before you redeploy using the 2015 runtime installation programs.

    • Create an application configuration file that redirects 13.0.45.xxxx to 15.0.45.49153 NationalInstruments.Analysis.Professional.

    Setup in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 error

    I downloaded "vs2015.com_enu.iso". The installation gets stuck in the place where it says, install Microsoft .NET 4.6.

    A few important points:

    • I am also unable to install .NET 4.0, 4.5 .NET.
    • Windows Update indicates the update, download too and said the update will install on the next reboot, and after the next reboot always two updates on the WUA list and are not installed.
    • So the problem I tried to reinstall the Windows OS, but nothing helped.
    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to make sure you get the best answer, we need to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Cannot find IMAQ functions: IMAQ in correlation, analysis of particles IMAQ able Studio 2015

    Hello.

    I wonder if someone is able to help me with my questions as I am a little confused with what packages are available for my intention. I use LabView 2015, .net 4.5 and Measurement Studio 2015 (for .net), Visual Studio 2013 update 5. For LabView, I installed IMAQ Vision Acquisition Software February 2015.

    After installing Measurement Studio and try its features, I am able to find functions like Savitzky-Golay LabView signal processing in Measurement Studio under the namespace NationalInstruments.Analysis.Enterprise in .NET.

    However, for functions of LabView IMAQ as convoluted IMAQ, IMAQ in correlation, analysis of particles IMAQ, I am unable to find corresponding calls Studio 2015 able. How can I get these functions?

    Thank you.

    Nevermind, I think I've found my own answer. Measurement Studio 2015 contains only the LabView functions that can be called in the c# language. However, if you need features IMAQ, you can buy NI Vision Development Kit. The kit only supports .net 3.5.

    For new projects, use the NI Vision OpenCV support.

  • WiX Installer Measurement Studio merge modules

    Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to create a WiX Installer for a Measurement Studio application similar to the http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ED87C183E056CAC386256DF1004E54C6Knowledge Base article? I have an application Measurement Studio c# which I am creating a WiX Installer for and I have problems to get the measurement of inside studio merge modules. I get errors ICE30. I'm using WiX 3.0.

    Hi d_sdl,

    Our merge modules should work in WiX, as I have tested this several times. When you say that you have found ICE30, that fails your build? As you probably already know, one of the nice features of WiX is that you can set a flag so that whenever WiX compiles and links your source, it works ICES on them. This allows you to catch problems early in your development process. I guess you do is put the WiX linker fails if ICE warnings/errors are thrown. You can configure WiX for actions based on ICES advice you get. What is important is that you can turn off this setting, but it depends on how you are nvoking WiX (i.e. through NAnt, MSBuild, Votive, etc.). In any case, there are different ways to disable this option. What I would say is to disable the option, or be specific about which ICES to ignore. This decision would be to the you. The key is to understand what actually means ICES and determine if they are legitimate questions.

    ICE30 can indicate a variety of different things, but a common reason corresponds to the entries of the SFN. Some of our merge modules are always generated through Visual Studio deployment projects and VS created RFU very well. Thus, you're left with SFN entries duplicated in the MSM. Long file names are different, but the short file names are the same. WiX does this correctly which is nice, but unfortunately we can't convert some of these modules more MSM because of VS restrictions and limitations, that we found. It would be nice if better RFU created VS.

    Attached is a zip file that contains two projects that are:

    • C# project that produces the binary file that the Setup program will install
    • Project of WiX that creates the MSI file

    First, be sure to build the c# project. I tested the MSI that result, and it works very well on a target system.

    Note If you want to load the wix project, you must have the final version of Votive on your system.

    Best regards

  • Visual Studio 2008 Pro takes a long time to start after the installation of measurement Studio 2009

    After installing Measurement Studio 2009, I noticed that it takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to open a Visual Studio project.

    I do not have an internet connection on my development computer and suspect he might be waiting on some kind of operation of the network to time out.  I had problems with Visual Studio in the past as well and had to work around them by adding entries to my hosts file (to redirect some addresses of Microsoft to the local IP address - this causes network operations to expire immediately).

    Just curious if anyone has encountered this kind of slow startup time and found a solution.

    Thank you!

    I found an article referring to a question similar to MS 8.1.  I don't know if the problem has simply not been corrected or why I am still having this problem.  Workaround "per computer" listed in the article solved my problem.

    Someone at - it a solution for this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dear Erik,

    I saw the same problem and I think that you can solve with the installation of the DAQmx 8.8 and make sure to include the Visual Studio integration.

    If you have any questions just reply to this email.

    Have a good time.

  • Elements of measurement Studio will not work on other Machines

    Hello!

    I hope someone can help me on this one:

    I use Measurement Studio 8 with Visual Basic 2008 Express. Everything works fine on the pc I'm programming.

    But after the deployment of the project and install it on other machines, some items seem correct, or they have completely disappeared.

    I have attached a few screenshots for demonstration.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thank you in advance!

    Jonathan,

    Thank you very much for your quick response and the indicator with the 3D styles. With the new information, I also found this article on the same issue:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/F1F59ECC0EB79ADB8625749E002F8A65

    Unfortunately, everything seems to be a little different with Visual Studio Express. I can't do the installation project, I can only do a very basic installation. However, I can chose which modules should be integrated. As you can see even in "modules.jpg".

    NationalInstruments.UI.Styles3D.dll

    is included.  Eventually all the files appear in my folder to deploy (see "installfiles.jpg").

    Kind regards

    Note: Measurement Studio is no longer included in the complete edition of LabWindows/CVI. For more information, please contact customer service at the 1-866-519-6285.

    "The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. »
