After 2 hours I finally stopped it and restarted. This time it proceeded along and was waiting for input regarding the location of files (I hadn't run the installer since getting a new PC and loaded everything). I suspect the first time that that dialog box may have been hidden and that's what was holding things up.

George

I hate when that happens.

I started an installer build with LV 9.0.2 ...

There is your first problem right there. Try building it in 8.6. Keep us updated.

Hello, Guru.

No worries, at least for me. I have learned a lot from you and I have your new URL bookmarked.

Good luck with your new server.

Congrats!

Good luck with the job search, too.

My two are litter mates and they will act like that with each other if I let them. They day I brought them home I set a can of cat food onto a plate expecting them to "share". Bad idea. I thought the bigger one was going to rip the throat out of smaller one. Since then they have always eaten from separate plates.

P.S. I hope that's dog meat in the video.

Paul. Get back to work.

I think I wrote this Saturday evening. I've been known to put in a 7-day week but not even I will work on a Saturday evening.

NOW I have to get back to work.

Does anyone else feel bad for the the sheep? Constantly running around being chased by dogs and people.

No. It could be worse for the sheep. They could have been set on fire like in the movie Mars Attacks!

It was raining here in MI this morning.

If anyone ever gets a chance to see a meteor shower out in the boonies take it. It's quite a show.

When I lived in CO I was fortunate enough to see the Perseids one summer evening while backpacking in the mountains. We didn't even know it at the time but my friends and I were commenting on how many meteors we were seeing that night. It was only until we made it back to civilization that we learned it was the Perseids.

We're still on XP, but Vista is coming soon (it's takes forever for IT to approve a new system). But it's good to know about the limitations. I never really paid attention to that before.

George

Slightly off topic, but why would IT want to move to Vista and not Windows 7? I keep hearing nothing but good things about 7 and we all know what Vista was like.

If your new PC is coming with Vista, bear in mind that the NI only supports LabVIEW 8.5+ on Vista.

Indeed. The last time I did this I loaded 7.11, 8.0, 8.20 and 8.5 on an XP machine. Never thought of the compatibility issues with Vista - or Windows 7 for that matter.

Bite the bullet. Start from the earliest version and work your way up. I've done it both ways a few times and going from most recent to older had some problems. I don't remember any trouble at all installing oldest to newest.

Hi,

I was trying to find a way to calibrate my flexi force using labview but the problem is my limited knowledge in Labview and Interpolation. The attached program takes values via Daq and displays them and also it calculates the rate using the fact that Values above zero are considered as no pressure applied. When I attached the flexi force I ran into problems with calibration. So if you guys could help me out that would be nice.

Thank you

Send Mr. D here to read this thread.

... Of course. If nothing compiles and runs then it proves you are a crap God ...

I learned that I am a crap god playing Spoor. I'm a much better general conquering everyone on the planet playing CIV IV.

You should have asked him to make you that sandwich. Now you're probably going to be making HIS sandwiches.

Dude! Wait. What?

Today I saw a remarkable movie.

The powerful intergalactic spiritual harmonics I heard the last time I heard the 6th Dimension Handbell Choir led me to a small theater in Farmington, MI.

Once again my life has changed.

I don't know how long my above animal-level soul can keep up with this interdimesional journey.

The "Prawns" are above animal-level?!

I feel like I am going mad.

Has anyone been to a hard-core hand bell concert?

The extreme ringers are very impresive. I heard an arangement of "The Navy Hymn" that sounded like the ocean. Soloists are amazing! Holding multiple bells in each hand and changing off as the melody shifts. It almost looks like musical juggling.

Ben

I've been to hand bell concerts. They are indeed quite impressive. I posted the link because of the life-changing harmonics that swept me into a convergence of dimension and above animal-level spirituality. I saw the Face of God and my life has been forever changed.

The 6th Dimension

PaulG. bests alfa by another dimension.

Is the 'excel objectRepository.vi' in your project directory somewhere? And does it need a .dll to operate and is that in the project directory as well? I can't explain why but, if my memory serves me correctly I encountered a similar problem a while back and that is how I fixed it.

Just a thought... A looong time ago I had a somewhat similar problem with a vi. It looked perfectly fine, and there was no broken arrow on it, but it would generate weird errors when I ran it. I finally had to completely recode that vi from scratch. The second version looked just like the first, but it worked without a problem.

I had that happen, too, a long time ago. I seem to remember I had luck replacing all the subVI's first before rewriting the code.

Something strange. LabVIEW went down fast in the latest TIOBE index (number 48).

Ans somehow LabWindows/CVI went up to 36:

36 LabWindows/CVI 0.226%

48 LabVIEW 0.162%

And here is the new (working) link. Wow. LV is dropping like a stone.

since replying to this topic seems to be the only way of addressing these issues at times....

YES, I really, really, really, appreciate the time and effort the moderators put into this forum. I learned a lot, and I hope I helped some people too, in the course of time.

No, I don't understand why something that was not broken (LAVA 1.0, or was it broken?) was "fixed" in LAVA 2.0.

I remember a lot of topics, code snips, etc that used to be there (LAVA 1.0), which have been very useful to me, but which are just not so easy to find anymore because of alfa-bloody-fifth-dimension-rss, broken links, not showing up in general search, etc....

flame me, if you like for being disrespectful, but i.m.o. without that part of it's discoverable history, this forum is a little less valuable than it used to be.
