LabVIEW 7.1.1 Executable Installer Won't Work When LabVIEW 8.0 Is Installed

[David_R._Asher]

I have a LabVIEW 7.1.1 application that I built into an executable.  The executable runs fine on the machine I built it on, but if I run the installer it gives me error 1722.  The installer launches another executable that is contained within the build, and it seems that it is when the installer gets to that part that it crashes.  The executable shows up in the right place, as if the installer completed successfully, and it executes fine.  On machines that do not have LabVIEW 8.0 installed on them the installer runs without crashing and it properly runs the executable that it is supposed to run during installation.  On every machine that I have tried the installer on that has LabVIEW 8.0 it crashes.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

Hi David,

That is the first I have heard of this. Is this problem reproducible with a simple example? If so, can you post it here so that we can all try it out? Thanks!

I made up a simple example, but it works...  The software that I am having the problem with contains about 1500 VIs and is proprietary, so I can't post it.  Luckily the issue with it not working on computers with LabVIEW 8 isn't an issue for the customer.


Thanks,
