VI to run the .exe program

Hello

use of labview to activate and run a .exe program located in a specific folder on the c drive?

When I run the program .exe manually from the command prompt I navigate to the desired folder, and then enter "runapplication.exe" to run the compiled c code.

I've searched the forums labview but especially articles relating to the creation of executables labview or labview .exe programs.

Also could call or run the TestSTAND .exe program without having to create a VI?

Thank you

try System exec.

    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  • Flash Builder on Mac Lion 10.7.5 4.6: cannot run the Setup program: certificate revoked

    Hello

    You are aware that FB 4.6 is not install more OS x 10.7.5 and maybe OS X in general?

    Because I really need design view last FB does not offer, I just downloaded 4.6 FB for OS X from Adobe: Adobe - Adobe Flash Builder 4: for Macintosh: Flash Builder 4.6 - Mac OS: thanks

    My real OS X is 10.7.5, Lion.

    Launch of the install.app, it appears an error window:

    Please be aware that I know that this message comes from Gatekeeper, see for example: OS X: on Gatekeeper

    The fact is that this problem is not solvable, apparently.

    The problem is with the application signing certificate, as you can see issuing the command:

    bash - 3.2 # spctl - has Install.app

    Install.app: CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED

    So, here we have a certificate of _revoked_, not a certificate/developer unknown or app unsigned.

    Indeed, unfortunately the problem persists even disabling Gatekeeper:

    bash - 3.2 # spctl - status

    co-pays disabled

    since apparently a revoked certificate is not an error that can be ignored or circumvented somehow.

    As far as I KNOW, the idea behind this is: Apple actually provide no verification quality on applications (they are not "approved by") but may possibly (if there are "problems") block a via the recall mechanism. Because of this, the _revoked? _ check cannot be bypassed/disabled. I'll try as soon as POSSIBLE an upgrade of the OS to see if with the Mountain Lion (10.8) I can possibly force execution Install.app, but chances appear to be rare so far.

    So, Adobe, can you help me please?

    Maybe sign with a certificate valid for this installer...

    FB4.6 is essential because it is the last version with DV. I had to install FB46 on Windows to keep working, but it's no doubt slow me down as everything is on Mac.

    ARO

    a pro developer.

    Hello all, good news: after updating to 10.8.5, Mountain Lion I was able to run the Setup program and all went well.

    Mountain lion allows the user force execution through the command open context menu (CTRL-click) and it works, just as simple as that.

    So my advice is: If you want to install or reinstall Flash Builder 4.6 on a Mac with Lion installed, updated to Mountain Lion or better to avoid problems.

    Apple introduced some (not all) Gatekeeper 10.7.3 and following features, but apparently you need a full-fledged 10.8 to also have what you need to work around a revoked certificate error.

    Since usually OS X has auto update active, if you run Lion you find with 10.7.5 and do not install FB46. If you manage to somehow hold 10.7.2 I guess you should be able to install FB46, sincerely I don't check it out. In any case, it is simpler and safer to move to 10.8.x.

    Good bye

    Not necessarily - it is meaningless to set the DISPLAY of different client IP addresses if you want to run the installation program (or any GUI) on the server of different customers.

    dbms_scheduler.create_job and create_program to run the shell UNIX of PL/SQL program

    I guess that the problem could be a shell program. "send_file_susin.sh", I did run the CFT program which is to transfer files. While I tried to this problem, I heard that I should use dbms_scheduler.create_program and create_job to execute the shell command. Therefore,.

    After 30 seconds, I saw the work was done, but I couldn't see the log of the CFT program. This means that the file have not been transferred...

    I don't know what is wrong with it... Please, someone that solve?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello

    You don't have to create a program first, put directly in the work should work as well.

    Your pl/sql code is correct, then you should check out a few things with the shell script

    -is set + rx
    -is the first line #! / bin/sh
    -should I use the full path to the executable files for example/usr/bin/ftp
    -It defines the variables

    If that all seems well, consider adding lines of logging to your shell script to debug what goes wrong.

    I tried to open a file with Notepad as I thought Notepad was the right program to open it. I used the "open with" prompt and select Notepad. It did not open, but immediately after, all single exe files had a picture of Notepad open with notepad and say various gibberish.

    After that, I managed to get on chrome right on the PIN I had attached to the taskbar, and then selecting an of my favorites.

    I looked for solutions and tried two different solutions so far, regedit solution and the Fix It solution.

    Later, I thought that maybe adobe would be able to run exe files, he then began to show an image of the software adobe reader on exe files.

    Now, every time I try to open an exe it lands open adobe reader and sitting there without understanding.

    Hi all

    I have a little problem.

    I'm in the need to write that all connection, disconnection and connection fail data to the Windows application log. To do this, I already tried various solutions, but with my configuration (EE Oracle 10.2.0.4) and Windows Server 2003 R2 X 64 the only possible solution is (apparently) the following.

    I create a Table with the information I need:

    SID NUMBER,
    series # NUMBER,

    I have create a trigger for the connection data, one for logging for the logon fails:

    INSERT INTO logonaudittable VALUES ('CONNECT', v_sid, v_serial, sysdate,

    The I create a trigger that starts each time something is written on the table.
    This trigger must start an EXE file which writes the last data written on the table in the Windows application log.

    So I need a trigger that executes my WRITELOG. EXE file adding parameters. For example:

    Run WRITELOG. Event time username sid EXE

    So my program will write a journal in Windows with these data:

    Event: opening of SESSION
    SID: 2938473
    Time: 12/12/2011 11:45:32
    User name: Scott

    And so on.

    I already have the program that does this, I need to run the program with the right data directly from trigger or procedure performed by my trigger.

    Hope that I was clear and REALLY hope that someone can help me!

    Thanks to you all!

    So practically I should create a job something like this:

    BEGIN
    () dbms_scheduler.create_job
    job_name-online "CONNECTION."
    job_type-online "EXECUTABLE."
    job_action => ' c:\yourdirectory\FILE. LOGON EXE ' | v_sid | » '|| v_serial | » '|| to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YYYY') | » '|| the user | » '|| osuserid | » '|| MachineName |';
    number_of_arguments-online 1
    start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
    enabled-FALSE, online
    comments => ' SQL * Loader jobs Demo');
    END;
    /

    and then I need to start this work every time that the LOGON trigger fires and it must be the trigger that inserts into the work, the arguments v_sid, v_serial, etc..

    ... I don't know how I can do this. What I need to create a procedure that creates jobs and the procedure is executed by the trigger? and how do you know the procedure to create the job with the data provided by the trigger. Sorry I ask much for the help, but I need this thing made in a time which is not compatible with me studying how to do it by myself. I will look at it, I want to know exactly how these things work, but now I need to speed things up a bit!

    Thank you for all the valuable assistance tfor!

    Hi ylongwu,

    You will need to install the driver OR-Scope on the deployment computer so that the code you can call the driver. You can download the driver from our Web site at drivers and updates the link below by searching our driver OR-Scope and choosing the appropriate version. I also recommend that you include the NOR-Scope driver as an extra Installer for your executable. In the setup of window construction there is a category called additional installers where you can choose the drivers and execution engines to install with your executable file. I've included a screenshot to show what it will look like for LabVIEW 8.x.
