Labview builder installer shows "X:\ProgramFilesFolder" instead of the system directory.

Sorry, I´m fighting with this editor ;-))

Ok, here´s my problem:

LV 7.1

WinXP-Pro + ServicePack1

the installer of a LV7.1 executable tries to install per default to d:\ProgramFolderFiles\... instead of c:\program files\...

It also places the start menu entry to d:\ProgramMenuFolder\... instead of c:\Documents and Settings\....

It happens on different machines.

But a solution was not published.

Does anybody know whats going on here ??

Thanks in advance,

Hello Martin!

You can try to set the following registry entry to 0:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem Entry: NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation=0

Hi Volker,

the solution you proposed didn't work. I tried it on two different machines, no success.

Hi Martin,

sorry that it dont`t work. Did you try it on your development machine before creating new applications? Pherhaps this can fix the issue:

You can try to toggle (maybe twice) this registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation=1

The default value is 0. Reboot the machine after a change.

regards,

Volker
