Application builder fails. Error Code -12, 32

[Andrew.A]

Hello,

I'm trying to build an EXE from a simple application, and I cannot get the builder to succeed. Here is the error that was generated:

CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_BuildDevPart.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDevPart_SetUpgradeInfo.vi

Any suggestions, or is there any further information I can provide? I am using Labview 2010.

Thanks,

Hello,

Please follow this article that explains the misbehavior you are experiencing with possible solutions.

Thanks for the response. However, I looked through the article, and it does not seem to be applicable to this case because I am not attempting to include any of the listed drivers. For my program, I am only referencing standard Labview VIs and one DLL driver for the instrument I am working with. 

I actually tried simplifying the problem by creating an exe build of a while loop with a button. When I tried to create an installer for this program, I got a very similar error.

Ultimately, I found that I was able to build an installer if I performed some combination of building an exe of my program, running the exe, stopping it, keeping the program in memory, etc. I am not entirely sure what is happening, and it is very convoluted. It is not a reliable way for me to get an installer to build for my program.

I haven't run into an error like that, but whenever I see an "access denied because someone is already using the file" I always suspect another player. The most common sources are the anti-virus program and the Windows file indexing service. I would start by disabling the anti-virus and seeing if that helps.

[Andrew.A]

Thanks, that's a good point. Next time I attempt to compile I'll try to identify if any other program is interfering.

I had this error 32 problem as well and found this thread.

I had downloaded the DAQmx v 9.7.5 from the web site, unpacked it to the default temporary directory and installed it. I did not delete the temporary directory.

I tried to include it as an Additional Installer in the Application Installer build for my project with the option "To minimize media prompts while building your installers, copy the selected installers and all future installers to this computer" checked.

This gave me the error 32.

If I unchecked the option (ie not copy the installers) it built ok.

When I looked at thetemporary folder with the unpacked downloaded installers for DAQmx 9.7.5 in I found that some of the files were read-only.

I made the foder and all sub folders and files read-write and then I could enable the "copy the installers" option, and my installer built with no errors.

I hope this might help be the solution to someone elses error 32 problem.
