labview 9 silent install crashes

[jpalmerb]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a silent install of labview 9. I've created a specfile and when I then enter setup.exe /applyspecfile "nisuite.xml" /q /acceptlicenses yes

It starts the setup.exe, but then bombs out with the error "setup.exe has stopped working"

I'm doing my inital testing on a windows 7 virtual machine.

Here are the problem details:

Hi!

This is most likely caused by the Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security feature. If this feature is activated and the LabVIEW EXE you built is not set as an exception, it may cause the above errors or just prevent you from opening the application.

You can check if Data Execution Prevention is activated by doing the following:

1. Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under the Performance section, click Settings.
4. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5. Check to see if DEP is activated for essential Windows programs and services only, or for all programs except those you select.
6. If DEP is on for all programs, either change it to be on only for Windows programs and services, or add an exception for your new EXE.

The errors and crashes should stop occurring once an exception is made for your application or you choose to use DEP for only essential Windows programs and services.

Let me know how things are going!

Regards,

Matteo

If you posted the specfile that you generated (nisuite.xml) -- that might be helpful in debugging...

I checked the DEP and it is set for essential windows programs and services only.

Attached is the xml code

Something went wrong with posting or generating nisuitetxt.txt, as it only contains nulls?  Try generating the specfile again - it should just be an XML file. I wouldn't worry about DEP at this point -- the installer shouldn't ever trigger it...

Hi,

thanks for you help. I really appreciate it. Now when I try and recreate the nisuite.xml file it crashes!!

That is also a bit odd, perhaps there is something wrong with that machine? Could you try generating the specfile on another computer? If that also crashes, please post the command-line that you are using, and also the exact steps that lead up to the crash.
