2012 f2 patch

[hartzde]

Received the LabVIEW 2012 f2 patch pushed to me.  After installation and reboot, none of my applications will run.  I get two error messages:  "No supported languages installed" followed by "Unable to open resource files".

Help please!?

Ouch!

I did not get the update yet, so I cannot tell if it worked for me.

When you say "none of my applications will run", are you talking about VIs or built applications?

Do you get these errors when you try to open LabVIEW or only of you try to run?

Just trying to get more information...

I ran the updates on two different machines.  I did the 32-bit and the 64-bit on both machines.  I have had no issues so far.  But I don't get to use the 2012 much.  Most of my development is currenly in 2011.

You will need to repair your LabVIEW 2012 installation.

We recently become aware of an issue with the LabVIEW 2012 f2 patch, where it appears that installing the f2 patch on a system with LabVIEW 2012 f1 + MAX 5.3.1 (or later) removes two files from the LabVIEW 2012 Run-Time Engine (tdtable.tdr & lvapp.rsc) causing the RTE to break.

We have removed the f2 patch from Update Service, and are working to resolve the issue. In the meantime, repairing LabVIEW 2012 will replace the missing files, and should resolve the issue.

We are very sorry for the inconvience that this will cause.

Kind regards,

[hartzde]

Thank you

Repairing does seem to have fixed my issues.

From a note added to the LabVIEW 2012 f2 Patch KB:

An issue was discovered where installing the LabVIEW 2012 f2 (Windows) patch over the LabVIEW 2012 f1 (Windows) patch may inadvertently remove files from the LabVIEW 2012 Run-Time Engine, causing LabVIEW built applications to error on launch. For example, the Example Finder will silently fail to launch, and the NI System Web Server will fail to launch with an error. 

We have removed the LabVIEW 2012 f2 patch from distribution until this issue is resolved. 

If you are affected by the above issue, please repair your LabVIEW 2012 installation to replace the missing files, and to resolve the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank You for the timely communication!

Jordan, Can you float the summary?

I have had the same issue with the LabView 2011 f2 patch (11.0.1.f2). It wiped out %ProgramFiles%\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2011\English\lvapp.rsc. Copying this file from an older installation of LabView resolved it.

Running a repair on Labview 2012 is not fixing the problem.  The Built applications are still not running.
