application start slow on target machine

[Larry Liang]

Hi, All,

I made an application program by using MS VB .NET with Measurement Studio 8.0. It runs fine on my development machine. However, it starts up very slow when I deployed it on target machine (no MS .NET, Measurement Studio 8.0 installed, only .NET framework installed). Anyone knows what's the problem?

Another problem is that I used MS 8.0 push button style "HorizontalRocker3D" in my program. It runs fine on my development machine. However, when I deployed it on target machine its image disappears when the program starts up even it is still work when you click the button area. Anyone can help me on this?

Thanks,

Larry

Regarding the first problem, please read the Knowledge Base article "Measurement Studio .NET Assemblies Take More Than 10 Seconds to Load at Run Time" and see if that helps identify and solve the problem.

Regarding the second problem, it sounds like mesa.dll is not on the system. Did you create an installer for the application or did you xcopy deploy the application? If the former, do you have NIMesaDLL.msm in your deployment project? For more information on the merge modules you need, see the "Measurement Studio .NET Merge Modules" topic in the Measurement Studio help. If the latter, did you copy mesa.dll with the application? For more information on xcopy deployment, see the "Measurement Studio .NET XCOPY Deployment Files" topic in the Measurement Studio help.

Hi, Elton,

Thanks for the help.

The first problem was solved with your help.

The second problem: I created the installer. However, I can't find NIMesaDLL.msm file on my computer. I am wondering why. Is this due to the installation of Measurement Studio?

Thanks,

Larry

Hello Larry,

NIMesaDLL.msm should be located in the "Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules" directory on your computer.  If it is not, try repairing the Measurement Studio installation.  If that still does not make it appear, can you please tell me some information.

What MStudio version do you having installed?

What version of Visual Studio are you using this with?

Are you creating an MSI project?
Can you tell send me the vdproj file?

Regards,

Jeff

Hi, Jeff and Elton,

The second problem was solved. The problem was that I didn't install the C++ support part when I installed MS8.0. The NIMesaDLL.msm is in there. I re-installed MS8.0 by adding C++ support part and the problem was solved.

Thank you very much for the help.

Kind regards,

Larry
