Error 1334 installing application

[sciawatt]

Hi All,

I'm finding a strange behavior installing an application I created using "Project Explorer" (called "Application Builder" Labview version < 8.0, isn't it?). The creation of the installer package goes right, but when I try to install on a final PC I got the error message visible in the image, and the installation fails.
The strange thing is that opening the data.cab file the mentioned missing files are present, but without the .MDF100 extension. Adding "manually" this extension to all the files present in the data.cab, I been able to solve the problem  (!!??    =:-D     !!??)
What I'm doing wrong? I don't want to modify manually all the distribution packages I'll do next future!!
P.S. I'm coming from Labview version 7, never had problem creating application - distribution with the old Application Builder.

Thanks in advance,
Bye

sciawatt,

I noticed the application name has spaces in it while the file being looked up in the data.cab has underscores. This is why it is not possible to find it.

Try and name your executable as "Analisi_Forni_tk.exe" or something that does not have spaces or special characters in it and it should work fine,.

Dear Alessio,

Tanks for the suggestion, I try to modify the executable name avoiding spaces but the problem still remain the same...installer is searching for "<application_name>.mdf100" file but in the data.cab is only present the <application_name> file!
I want the old version 7 application builder! 😄

Grazie e ciao

What you could try is not to have 2 extensions at the end of the file (filename.extension). Name file "ANALISI_FORNI_TK_EXE.MDF100" or "ANALISI_FORNI_TK.MDF100".

Dear Dan,

I simple put the ANALISI_FORNI_TK_EXE in the file to be included in my installer; then I build the project but when I try to install onto a final PC (I try in a couple of PCs) I got the error visible in the immage; the installer is searching the ANALISI_FORNI_TK_EXE in the data.cab but with the additional .mdf100 extention (why??).  Rebuilding by hand the data.cab (inserting the same ANALISI_FORNI_TK_EXE only adding manually the "required" .mdf100 extention) the installation ended properly.

Hope I been able to explain better....

so, if you name your application TEST.exe it still returns error 1334?
Could you post a screenshot when you use test.exe as the name?

[sciawatt]

Here the screenshot...
The name of the executable is the original application name without spaces, also if I rename test.exe I'm quite sure the result still remain the same.

Thanks a lot

ok, next step.... attach a project that allows to reproduce the error here.

- Is it returning the same error even with a very simple application?

- Is the installer erroring out on machines where no NI SW is installed, or is it also having troubles if you try to run it on the development machine?

[sciawatt]

I try also to build a project composed only by a single ini file with the same result.
I did installation test on my development PC and another win2000 "clear" (no other national sw installed) PC, adding the run time pack.

Let me know, thanks again.
