Problem to install the Run-Time Engine 6.0.2 on a Windows XP

[gerald.monin]

Hi,

A client tried to install our application on a new computer with Windows XP Pro. The application was developped on LabVIEW 6i, so he has to install the RTE 6.0.2, like it was on the old Windows 2000 computer.

The installation of this RTE is OK, but it disturbs completely the "Add/Remove Application" windows of the Control Panel (See attachment).

And then our application is very very slow !!!

Our client installed then the Service Pack 2 for XP, that didn't change anything.

Is there a possibility to use correctly a LabVIEW 6i-application on a Windows XP SP1 or SP2 ?

Now the client is thinking to transfer directly this application on a Windows 2003 server, is it possible ? Is there a already known problem to do it ?

The application is used to do the monitoring of geological movements and is therefore very sensitive and should run fine, without any trouble !!! We can't be unsure !

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Gerald Monin

Hi,

Regarding the blank space in the add/remove programs list, please look at the following link

Regarding the slow execution, I would suggest to upgrade the LV environment to 6.0.2 as well and create an installer with the RTE included to be sure to have the right version installed on the target machine. If not, then please give more info's about what is executing slower (the hole application, acessing HW,ports...).

Porting the application to windows server 2003 is not the best idea, because LV in general is not supporting it and lv 6i is released a long time before windows 2003 server was. But i know a lot of people which are using lv 7.1 on windows server 2003 successfuly.

I hope it helps!
