LV 8.2.1 Application Installer Error

[russellb]

Hello,

 I am getting an error when I try to run the setup.exe file that was created using the LV Installer in my project for LV 8.2.1.  Attached is a screenshot of the error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell

Hi Russell,

This type of error is received typically when either you are not logged in as the administrator and are trying to install or there is another program that is not allowing for proper installation. I'm confused what exactly you are referring to with the LV Installer - is this the normal installation or did you create this .exe that isn't working? If it is the normal installation of LabVIEW itself, did you allow the installer to do all of the default settings/locations? Are you installing this over 8.2? If a custom .exe, did you change any of the settings from default? Is it possible it is trying to install files over protected ones (hence the error)?

Thanks for the information!

Stephanie

Hello Stephanie,

Thanks for your help.  The issue was related to an installation of an executable I built myself and not the LV development software installer.  You mentioned a possible file permissions problem so I checked and it turns out I didn't have the installer files checked out of my source control software (i.e the files were set to read only). So the build of the installer worked, but when I tried to run the installer some of the files were read only and that is probably why it didn't work. So I checked out the files and it worked.

Thanks,

Russell
