Blank LED Indicator On Windows 7

Hi Dan,

I'm glad that we could get the installer working properly.  It was not a waste of time and I'm happy that it is not a more serious issue.  Please mark the correct solution as accepted.

Thanks

I had the same problem with the NI switch control and the hint with starting the setup as admin worked for me too. I find it strange, because I was logged on as admin.

Will there be a patch to fix this problem?

Hi J.Cramer,

Thank you for the additional information.  We are currently investigating this situation.

Thanks

Hi all!

The install-as-administrator workaround work for me too (thanks everyone involved).

In my application, a set of HorizontalSlide3D switches were invisible. Although the caption was there and it was possible to click on the control!

I have only experienced the problem on 32-bits Windows 7, it works fine on 64-bits Windows 7 and 32-bits Windows XP.

Is there any progress to the patch?

Best regards, Björn Nilsson

Hi Bjorn,

Are you running the .msi file or the setup.exe to launch your application?

Hi Hassan!

I have an VS2008 installer project that creates my installation files and the result is one .exe and one .msi. But to start the instalaltion, I am using the setup.exe.

Hi bnils,

That seems peculiar.  All the issues in the past seems to be when people were running the .msi instead of the .exe to install their application.  Let me look into it and get back to you.

Hi bnils,

I was wondering what version of Visual Studio and Measurement Studio you are using as well as if you had administrator privilieges on that account.  When you try to launch the .exe do you ever get a message like this:

Also, would you mind posting a sample executable that reproduces this behavior?

Hi Hassan!

I am using Measurment Studio 8.9.0.246 and building an application targeted .NET framweork 2.0 ans CPU type set to x86. This forces me to use version 8.9.20.156/246 instead of 8.9.35.156/246 of the following NationalInstruments dll's: Common,UI, UI.WindowsForms.

I generate an install kit from my Visual Studio 2008 C# project and end up with two installation files (Setup.exe and <toolnameSetup.msi>). I start the installation by clicking setup.exe after a short while I get a message similar to the one you describe. In my case it ask if I allow the program from an onknown publisher "to make changes on this computer". However it says that program name is <toolnameSetup.msi> (i guess the exe calls up the msi). I allow this and the installation finalizes. The windows account i am using has administrator privilieges. When running the prorgram none of the switches are visiblke, they are ther and can be licked on but not visible.

After I reinstall setup.exe running as administrator, the switches are now visible...

I cant really distribute any executable right now, sorry. Maybe later.
