On Windows 7 64-bit registry settings

We are currently trying TestStand 4.1 and 4.5 (2010 Beta) on a 64-bit Windows 7. We have the following problem (not knowing if it has to do with Windows 7 and 64-bit, in fact).

We always set the TestStand configuration and public directory custom on a mapped drive (X:\Settings\TestStand, actually) so that we can easily clone projects and also switch between different projects on a single developer machine without taking into account that the user is active and where the user directory can be. In other words, we put:

Tracking Add 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\TestStand\4.1' v CfgLocation t REG_SZ /d "X:\Settings\TestStand" f
Tracking Add 'HKLM\Software\National Instruments\TestStand\4.1' v CustomPublicLocation d 'X:\Settings\TestStand' f

or with version 4.5.

This doesn't seem to work properly with Windows 7 64 bit. Are there any known issues with this sub Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows?

Concerning

Peter

I have not yet tried, but try to change the keys under: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\National Instruments\...

Keys for 32-bit applications must be mapped to the Wow6432Node in registry.

Thank you
Jim

  • Windows 7 64 bit cannot create local port through registry

    Hi all

    I write a vbs to create a local port to connect to our server to printer (ie the local port for \\PrintServer\PrintQueue1). I can create the succesfully local port by editing the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports and restart the spooler service in Windows 7 32 bit. However, the same script can not create the port in Windows 7 64 bit. The registry has also been changed, but cannot create the local port after you restart the spooler service. Does anyone know what is difference between 32 and 64-bit Windows when creating the local port?

    Turns out in my case is a subtly incorrect registry key in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports].  Specifically, the (default) entry has existed as white.  Must read (value not set).  A solution is to export the key to a file... and are looking for online reading: @= "", open the file and delete this line, port of registry and Rename Ports.bad (for backup), and then import the file. "  That's what I did and it worked fine after restarting the spooler.  Another solution might be easier to remove the (default) entry, and then restart the spooler... In any case, I have now all my ports which survive a reboot.

    2. is it works much earlier?

    Method 1: Try to "Run as Administrator". VB6 needs to access the registry, and user account control sometimes gets in the way.

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

  • Reinstall Visio after upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello everyone. I installed Windows 7-64 bit. My upgrade went without a hitch except to reinstall one of my Office programs. I am trying to reinstall Visio Professional 2003, however, my first legal installation disc is Visio 98. Windows 7-64 bit will not install this version, so I'm stuck without a track to upgrade in order to activate properly. How to work around this problem. I tried to join the team of Visio, but I see that they want to get my credit card on which I am not too happy to... Help... Please...

    Thank you.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    I know it's late to this thread over 3 years, but I recently found this problem on the copy of my dad from win7 64.

    With success, I was able to install 4.5 Visio standard, Visio 5.0 update and upgrade Visio 2002.  Everything worked successfully on win7, but the older versions had some quirks to fix in the installation process for 2002 to see them on the hard drive and to recognize as valid evolutionary products.

    The main problem is that version visio 4.5 and 5.0 used an old 16-bit installshield Setup program.

    The applications themselves are 32-bit and will be running in compat for windows NT 4.0 mode in win7 64-bit.

    My solution was to get a program that will extract the old cab of installshield used on the cd files.

    The file to extract cd is called 'data.z' and you must check out it in a good location on your hard drive.

    I used the program Universal Extractor from the following site:

    http://legroom.NET/software/UniExtract

    the extraction method used was i3comp.

    Once the records from HD, I created a shortcut to the executable visio in the extracted folder, in the properties of the shortcut I went to the compatibility options and click on it to change the settings for all users.  Here, I did the program running under Windows NT 4.0 and run as administrator.

    I then tested successfully the Visio 4.5 and 5.0 with this method to ensure that any registry or ini file stuff needed by the installer of 2002 would be easier.

    After I checked they were running and working on win7 64, I put in the 2002 Update CD recently bought new by the amazon seller.

    Setup has found the copy to hard disk, and I told it to install over Visio 5.0 on hard disk folder.

    When I launched visio 2002, he asked to activate, I then just let my dad continue the activation process of Visio 2002 update because it was actually him who had bought and she belonged and was installed on his computer.

    He had worked for a couple of hours and finally had put on his machine virtual windows xp win7, but wanted on his real win7 64 bit installation.

    I had the chance to help her for about an hour, and it was enough time to understand the problem and get Visio 2002 working for him.

    I note that there is a point in the installation process when upgrade version wants to find the old copy to upgrade, he will try to get the hard disk and you will almost seem to be frozen, but the style hourglass turns the pointer of the mouse circle will be always moving.  As long as you wait outside it will be eventually find the older version installed.

    Finally, on my father's computer, there are more than 1 million files from different programs and documents to go, after about 5-6 minutes setup are the old copy and continued.

    After it's done only internet activation is required.

    Hope this helps someone.
