Application built in LabVIEW 2011 installed successfully but not running on windows 8.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

Hello all,

      We have been using labview 2011 to develop datalogging applications. We have built the installer package for one of the applications by choosing the option 'windows XP or later' in 'Advanced' category. The installed application works fine in Windows 7 and earlier versions. But it doesn't seem to work in windows 8. When we try to run the application, the application doesn't load itself or show up but runs in the background consuming 75% of memory (as seen in the task manager).

     Then we tried rebuilding the package by selecting 'windows 7 or later' option from advanced category. The problem persists. Running the application in compatibility mode of windows 8 did not help.

      Please let us know how to fix this problem.

Hallo Ranjeet_Singh,

With regard to

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B972242574D4BB99862575A7007520CB

and

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14281/en

LabVIEW 2011 is not supported for Windows 8. For running an executable on another system you need the corresponding LabVIEW-Runtime. In this case the Runtime for LabVIEW 2011, not working under Windows 8.

To Work with the application its necessary to build it again under LabVIEW 2012.

regards

Tobias

Are you sure about that because during creation of package it will asks for wondowz 7 or later version ?

Does the w8 computer have a recent AMD processor (E.g. Bulldozer)?

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I thinks it was AMD only. does it make any difference.

I also need database & report generation tool for labview 2012 (64 bit). Where i can find this.I searched in ni.com but didnt found.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Ranjeet

Hallo Ranjeet_Singh,

no, I'm not sure, I just found the pages with compatibility lists. As you can see there, it could be difficult to get it work.

What does "Windows 7 or later" mean for NI? I don't know. But I found the Downloadpage for Report Generation Toolkit.

I am not sure that there is a 64bit version. Do you really have 64bit LabVIEW?

What is "AMD only"? Do you have the exact processor model?

LabVIEW 2011 has problems with some AMD processors, and some of the issues have been fixed in 2011 SP1 f1. I don't know if built application had similar problems.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

Let me check with that.

For 64 bit I found database and report generation tool.

Here it is. Hope this will work. they say it will
