Printer not working !

[vix]

I installed 7.0 RTE and printing seems working fine.
I'll do other tests in the next days, but I hope not to find other unexpected problem

Thanks a lot!!!

Vix,

When you create a distribution kit with CVI 6.0, it will include the 6.0 run-time engine, regardless of which version of the run-time engine you have installed in that machine (in c:\windows\system32). This policy was changed with CVI 8.0 and later, which will include the version of the run-time engine that is installed globally.

If you want to build a distribution kit with CVI 6.0 that includes the 7.0 run-time, the only way to do that would be to install the full CVI 7.0 IDE somewhere, and then copy C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI70\redist\msm\cvirte.msm into C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI\redist\cvirte.msm. Needless to say, this is not an officially sanctioned action but it should work.

Hi Vix,

Before CVI 8.0, distribution kits would only distribute the version of the run-time engine corresponding to the development environment.  The reason is that the distribution builder pulls the run-time engine in from the CVIXX\redist directory in the form of merge modules (.msm files).  These redistribution files do not get updated when you install a newer run-time engine on the system.  If you manually replace them (i.e. copy files from CVI71\redist to Measurement Studio\cvi\redist), it should work, though I would back up the originals.

In CVI 8.0, by default the run-time engine is included in your distribution as a independent component, just like other drivers, and it does put newer .msm files for redistribution on the target machine.

If you need any further clarification, ask away.

Thanks guys!
Your suggestions helped me solving the problem with the printer, but unfortunately I found out another problem with ActiveX,
but I preferred to start a new thread.

I hope someone is interested in it
