Remove Enhanced DCS Deployment Support in additional installer for old Version

[javadi_ali]

How can I Remove Remove Enhanced DCS Deployment Support in additional installer list for old labview Versions.

I installed labview 8.5 after installing labview 8.2 and I make a project and create setup for it but when I build, it has problem. it need labview 8.2 install directory (i.e. C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\8.2) but I have removed It from my PC,I think I must remove labview 8.2 Enhanced DCS Deployment Support to solve this problem. How Can I do it.

thanks

Hi javadi_ali,

If I understand correctly, you are creating an installer for a project in LabVIEW 8.5.  However, attempting to build the installer results in a dialog box asking for the LabVIEW 8.2 CD. 

In the installer properties, what is selected under "Additional Installers"?  If "Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.2" is selected, I would remove that check mark. 

If that doesn't eliminate the message or if I have misunderstood, please feel free to post here again.

Dear  Jennifer;

These three checkboxes under my "Additional Installers" is empty and not checked:

Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.0

Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.2

Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.5

I check other check box and only "Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.2"  installer source location is "C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\8.2" but the check box of it is empty and not checked.

Note that I unintalled labview 8.2 from my PC.

thanks you very much.

with best regards

Hi Ali,

In the Advanced category of your application properties, is "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time support" checked?  Does your application include DSC Module features?  Also, which items are selected as additional installers under your installer properties? 

If you have the LabVIEW 8.2 CD you can set that as the installer source location for Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.2.

Dear Jeniffer

Only I checked these items:

NI LabVIEW Rutime Engine 8.5

NI-VISA Rutime 4.2

see attached pictures.

thanks

Hi Ali,

Thank you for the screen shots - it often helps to see those.  As long as "Enhanced DSC Deployment Support for LabVIEW 8.2" is not checked, its installer source location does not matter.  In your case NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.5 and NI-VISA Runtime 4.2 are the only additional installers selected, so you only need to verify the installer source locations for those two installers. 

If you check only those two installers and then click "Build," does it create the installer?

however, I don't know why my installer want to access labview 8.2 source files?

thanks

Hi Ali,

The installer source location is based on the source previously used to install that component.  That path is stored in a registry key and may be invalid if the software for that component has been uninstalled.  Removing that registry key according to the steps below will remove the reference to that location. 

1. In the Command Prompt type 'regedit' to open the Registry Editor.

2. Create a backup copy of the registry by selecting File >> Export.  Set the export range to "All" and save.

3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\Common\Installer\Distributions.

4. If you click on each folder under Distributions you can see the title in the right-hand window.  Locate NI LabVIEW 8.2.

5. Remove the NI LabVIEW 8.2 key. 

The next time you create an installer, that path should no longer be listed.
