Error of type 204E700

[Maxou]

Hi,

I created a compiled version and when I run the executable in a different target machine, I have an error of type 204E700.

I use Labview v7.1, NI-IMAQ v3.1.0, NI-IMAQ 1394 v2.0 and Vision v7.0. On the target machine, I run the installer made by Application Builder and I install NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 Cameras v2.0 and Vision70rte.exe. What else do I have to install to remove this error?

Thanks,

Max.

Hey Max,

I am not familiar with the error 204E700. Is there a description that goes with that error code? With an executable that includes all of your software, you might be missing something. First, make sure that your built executable has the LabVIEW 7.1 RTE. Then make sure that you have installed NI-IMAQ 3.1.0 on the target machine. Now with the NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 2.0 and Vision 7.0 you need to make sure that you have the Deployment Licenses for both of those included on the target machine. If you have all of the following, please provide some more information about the error code that you are getting, which will help us determine what might be missing. Let me know if you have any other questions regarding this matter. Thanks and have a great day.

Regards,

DJ L.

Hi,

Yes, there is a description with the error: "VI has an error of type 204E700. The full development version of Labview is required to fix the errors."

I found what I missed: IMAQ 3.1.0 was not correctly installed. Everything else was installed.

The questions:

How can I install IMAQ 3.1.0 properly?

How can it be installed in the same time as IMAQ IEEE 1394 Cameras 2.0.0?

Or included in the installer made by the Application Builder?

I'd like to use the fewest CDs as possible (so far, I have one for IMAQ IEEE 1394 and one for my application). Can I gather both in one?

Thank you again,

Max.

Hey Maxou,

-- How can I install IMAQ 3.1.0 properly?

I would suggest upgrading to the most recent version of the NI-IMAQ driver (currently 3.1.3). To properly install the driver, download it to the machine you want it on, then run the Setup.exe. Uninstall earlier driver versions if they are already on the machine.

-- How can it be installed in the same time as IMAQ IEEE 1394 Cameras 2.0.0?

You can install the NI-IMAQ driver when you install the 1394 driver. If you have a script that installs your drivers, just include the IMAQ driver to be installed as well.

-- Or included in the installer made by the Application Builder?

It is not possible to include the NI-IMAQ driver with the Installer made by the App Builder.

-- I'd like to use the fewest CDs as possible (so far, I have one for IMAQ IEEE 1394 and one for my application). Can I gather both in one?
Well, the 1394 driver is 180 MB, and the IMAQ driver is 125 MB, so you could have both on one CD if you have a large enough CD to hold them. If you have room left on your CD, you can also include your application.

Last, make sure that you are including the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine with your application, since the Error description hints that LabVIEW is required. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day.

Hi DJ L,

Thanks, everything works now. I included all components on the CD and now our customer can have an easier installation (we still provide two CDs because there is also the license of NI-IMAQ 1394 but only ours is used). I have some additional questions. I noticed that the computer has to restart twice: a first time after installing NI-IMAQ 3.1.0 and a second time after installing NI-IMAQ 1394 2.0.0.

• Can we restart just once after both installation? (seems to be ok)
• Does the order matter (IMAQ 3.1.0 then IMAQ 1394 or IMAQ 1394 then IMAQ 3.1.0)?  (seems to be ok again)
• Can I simplify the installation by specifing the user’s choices in advance (maybe via setup.ini)?
• Do you know where I can have a description of the setup.ini files (IMAQ 3.1.1 installer and IMAQ 1394 installer)?

Thanks,

Max.

Hey Max,

To answer your questions:

• Can we restart just once after both installation? 
  Yes, one restart will work fine.
   
• Does the order matter (IMAQ 3.1.0 then IMAQ 1394 or IMAQ 1394 then IMAQ 3.1.0)?
  The order does not matter, so you can do either.
  
• Can I simplify the installation by specifying the user’s choices in advance (maybe via setup.ini)?
  I am not sure I understand this question, but you can set up your installation as you choose.
  
• Do you know where I can have a description of the setup.ini files (IMAQ 3.1.1 installer and IMAQ 1394 installer)?
  You can open the setup.ini files in any text editor (i.e. WordPad, notepad, etc.) and see what is inside of them.
  
  A useful document that you can check out is one of our Knowledgebases that talks about creating a customized installer (even though it is for DAQmx, same methods for IMAQ) which can be found at the following link: Creating a Silent Customized Installer for NI-DAQmx. 

I hope this answers your questions. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day.
