LV2011SP1 Build Error

[blawson]

I can confirm the problem is not limited to this project.  I opened another project which has "DAQmx 9.5 core runtime" as an added installer.  I built the installer successfully.  Then I selected the DAQmx Configuration Support installer and the build failed with the exact same error I posted recently.

If it helps, it looks like my windows 7 error prompt allowed me to cut and paste the whole issue, while Skydyvr's (winxp?) may not, or at least might not show that it's possible.  Is there a log file created on errors, or only if "create build log" is checked?

Just to clairify, I'm running WinXP 32-bit. I also have a Win7 64-bit machine, but have not upgraded to SP1 on that computer. I am about 80% sure I have built an installer using LV2011 (no SP) on the exact same program I'm having difficulity now.

Hi,

To update the thread, I am investigating this and so far I have been unable to recreate the problem. However I am going to keep looking into it to see if I can find a way to recreate and debug it.

Thanks for all the details of what you have tried so far.

Then it is conceivable that we have received Platform 1 DVDs with bad sectors on them. Is there any way we can receive new DVDs that have been checked and verified good to replace our "bad" ones?

Running a repair install from the labview meta installer (in windows' add-remove programs panel) has fixed my issue.  I repaired LV2011, LV2010SP1 and DAQmx 9.5, but I suspect it was DAQmx that needed the repair.

[Jeff-P]

Skydyvr - can you also try the repair install in the way that blawson described to see if that resolves the problem for you too? If it does not and you want a new LabVIEW Platform DVD, please contact your local sales rep for NI to see if they can send you that.

Still no-go. I tried repairing my DAQmx 9.3.5 and that did not work. I then went here: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2888 and upgraded to DAQmx 9.5. Just tried to rebuild installer and get the same error after it searches the platform 1 DVD again.

[blawson]

I might have been wrong about DAQmx being the one   Try repairing LV, too.  If you go into your build spec you should be able to specify a log file for the build, and that could be useful.

[Skydyvr]

True, but I can build it sucessfully if I don't include DAQmx. So to me that points to a mx problem - but what do I know.

How do I specify a log file for the build?

[blawson]

So when I went and looked for the file it said was missing and compared that folder to one on my other dev PC, there were 2 of 3 files missing in the folder.

Maybe this is a component that DAQmx triggers as a dependency but only gets installed/repaired by LabVIEW.

hmm, looks like a build log is an option for executables but not installers.  Can you select text in that error window?
