fieldpoint configuration in built application

[Kenny_K]

I know that there has been some threads on this before, but I cannot seem to get this working correctly.

I am using LV 8.20 with Fieldpoint 5.0.1.  My program works great under the development environment.

When I go to run the program as a .exe it comes up with an error "there is no configuration on this computer for 'ssemp".  Please select one" (ssemp is what I have the fieldpoint configured as (.iak) on the dev machine).  On the dev machine, the .iak is located in c:\ss\.  I have a c:\ss\ on the application machine as well containing the .iak.  I also copied, manually, the .iak to the Program files folder that I installed the program too, and my c: drive and I still get the same error.  I was seeing if it was looking for it in the wrong place.

I am able to connect and check readings in MAX using the .iak manually, but my program balks everytime i try to lead it, and even though it says to select a config, it never gives me the option to select one.

I have the .iak in the .exe as a support file and it is located in the data subfolder of the program.

Thanks

Hi Kenny,

I have not personally seen this error before. Would it be possible to post a screen shot of it as well as a screen shot when it says to select a config. Also, if possible would it be possible to provide the links to the other posts (I was not able to find them). These forum postings may help provide some additional information on isolating where the problem lies. Thanks!

Best regards,

Steven

Attached is a screenshot of the error.  Although it says to select a configuration, it never gives me the option too, just locks up the program.  I also tried to in manually and select the iak file in MAX before I start the program and I get the same error.

Here are some of the links to other threads: one, two, three, four, five and six.  The last thread is the closest to my problem, but the user never responded on whether or not it worked, and either way, it did not work for me.  I can get values from the unit in MAX with no problems.

Kenny,

I found the same problem in LV7.0.  I'm guessing that you are using Express VIs or Fieldpoint I/O Constants to point to the IO points in development mode.

What I found is that you have to instead use the FP Open and FP Create Tags vis to point your I/O poins back to your IAK file.

The path in the FP Open should point to where ever you put your IAK file on the deployment machine.

Good Luck,

Kenny,

I've got an "Advanced" button right below the "Read/Write" button.

It's in LV7.0 and LV8.2.

See attached...

You are building the exe from the project window, correct?  The built exe will use the project iak file by default.
You may want to try replacing the project iak file with your actual iak file, renaming it to match the project.
