LV 8.5 application builder problem under win 2000

[Schwede]

Hello,

have upgrade my application from LV8.2 to LV8.5. Under LV8.2 it works fine on the target pc`s (win xp and win 2000). If I made an appplicationu nder LV8.5 it work on the win xp systems, but not on the winn 2000 sytems. The main vi frontpanel pops up and I can see the start and stop button. The vi is broken. An error messages appears: To start the vi you must have installed the development system.

any solutions?

Hello!

Do you try to start an application (EXE) or a VI?
If you are starting an EXE, do you have the Run Time Engine of LV 8.5 installed on the PC with Windows 2000?

Best regards
Ken

I want to start a .exe. And I have packed the LVRT8.5 in the application build. Then I install the LVRT8.5 directly. But I get the same error message.

Please check in Measurement and Automation Explorer or under the Control Panel of Windows if the LabVIEW Run Time Engine 8.5 is really installed.

Are you calling VI dinamically or DLLs or other in your application?
Check if all VIs and DLLs are ported to the PC with Windows 2000.

Could you create a simple application with only a while loop in LV and bring it to the PC with Windows 2000? Does it work?

[Schwede]

LVRT is allready installed.

How do I look that the vi`s and dll`s are ported?

I have created a simple vi and it works!

If a simple VI works, then the Runtime Engine is installed and working properly.  What outside access does your program have?  Are you using NI-DAQ or NI-VISA or any other set of drivers which need to be installed?  Are you making outside DLL calls which may not be present on the system.  Even WinAPI calls can be different between the 2 versions of Windows and may cause a problem.

No dll, no daq, no visa, but database connectivity (sql database) and report generation toolkit.

On one Win 2000 system (where I made an new installation, no upgrade from a LV8.2 Version) it works.

[Matthew_Kelton]

What version of Office is installed on the XP machine vs. the 2000 machine (that's not working)?  Also, do you have the Office dynamic VIs included in your 8.5 builder?

Also, are you using any ActiveX or .NET stuff that mya not be the same or not installed on the 2000 system vs. the XP system.
