Mod Installer
Jude Hargrave
I've got a VI that I've built into an executable - everything up to that step works fine. I want to make an installer to package it with labview runtime to use on other computers, and can successfully build the installer, but when I try to run it I get the error while the installer is initializing:
I'm running LabVIEW 64 bit version 2022 Q3 22.3f0, under "additional installers" I've tried leaving it on "Automatically select recommended installers" and manually selecting things with no impact. I've tried building with "minimize media prompts while building your installers, copy the selected installers and all future installers to this computer. This application requires you to copy installers as administrator" both checked and unchecked. I've tried running the installer as administrator (and labview when building). Nothing has made a difference.
This issue was reported to NI yesterday and we are investigating. One of our older packages for older installer support on the build system is confused by the newer version of .NET 4.8. Our current understanding is that if you can upgrade the version of ni-mdfsupport package to version 22.8 or later, the problem will be mitigated. You should be able to do this fairly easily in NIPM using the Updates tab when viewing hidden (infrastructure) packages when connected to ni.com feeds.
Torsten, you are correct that when using the Download button on ni.com for the NIPM product, you can only download the latest (23.3) version of the online installer for NIPM. That is because NIPM's feed on ni.com contains all versions of NIPM packages, and an online installer will always install the latest version of packages in registered feeds. The only way to install a specific version of NIPM is to download the offline installer for that version.
Part of the reason that this issue occurred is because the NIPM installers do not include updates to a set of components (i.e. ni-mdfsupport) that installer builders, like LabVIEW, use to create installers using our older "meta deployment framework (mdf)" technology. A newer version of LabVIEW would include them. The instructions that I shared previously should work, and we will likely create a KB soon that will include an offline installer that contains the updated set of packages to fix this issue.
We have an installer that we will likely add to a new KB, but I would prefer to not post the installer until we have an official KB, hopefully next week. If you would like to test the installer, you can send me an email directly or send a private message using the forums and I will send you a temporary link to it.
I have sent the installer to all above that have commented.
Manufactured homes in Washington must be installed by an L&I certified installer. Installation work includes all aspects of installing the home, starting with the construction of the foundation, through assembly of the home, connecting the home to utilities and the application of the skirting.
The training can be accessed via a link that will be sent to you once your application and payment have been received. The Q&A session and proctored exam will be conducted on the dates provided on the schedule below. It is an open-book examination covering material addressed in the installer training course.
A score of 70% or higher is required for certification. Applicants receiving a passing grade on the examination will become certified Washington State manufactured home installers. An installer certification license will be issued.
A renewal notice and application form will be mailed to each installer approximately 45 days prior to their expiration date. The renewal application and payment must be received by L&I on or before the installer's certification expiration date.
Installer certification is valid for 3 years. Certified installers must attend a continuing education course to qualify for certification renewal. Certified installers must complete their required continuing education and the renewal application process prior to expiration of their certificate.
A certified manufactured home installer must be on site at all times during each phase of installation. Different installers can supervise each phase of installation. Licensed plumbers or electricians working within the scope of their license do not need additional supervision or certification.
Certified manufactured home installers must place a red metallic Washington Installer (WAINS) certification tag, issued by L&I, on each home they install before it is inspected by the local jurisdiction. This tag must list all installation work performed by the installer. One tag is required for each installer. For example, if one installer sets the forms and pours the concrete runners and another installer performs all other installation work, there should be two tags affixed to the home. These tags should be placed directly above or below the HUD certification label, or temporarily located in plain sight within 3 feet of the home's front entry. Tags can only be removed by the homeowner after the local enforcement agency has issued its final approval.
Dropbox offline installer (the .dmg on Mac) keeps popping up. I don't know why I even got the dropbox offline installer -- I have dropbox installed, and updates usually would be handled online? The question is what to do with it. Should I run it? Why? And would it mess up my dropbox installation? Should I ignore it? The issue is it keeps popping up, like in the middle of watching movies or doing zoom calls, so I need to get rid of it in that case.
This is what I'm getting at every system startup since I uninstalled Dropbox, but it's different from what I got when it was still installed (said something about a Dropbox offline installer, although I had Dropbox offline installed).
I started to use the standalone product for Linux years before Central was available. I got a Central account recently so I followed the instructions about assigning my "server" (actually my Linux desktop machine) to my Central account with /opt/sophos-av/engine/registerMCS. The machine was assigned properly - or at least that's what I thought. I recently noticed that it haven't got any updates, I suspected because of a confusion with my old credentials set ages ago but I wasn't sure. Instead of changing the client settings I uninstalled it and tried a fresh installation. Downloading the installer from Central was easy-peasy (Server Protection - Protect Devices then Download Linux Server Installer) but the installation failed with this lovely message:

Failed to download the medium installer! (Error code = 46)
I didn't make any changes to my network settings in the last 2 years so this message is huh... strange. What is an SUL error and how could I dig deeper? Presuming that the uninstaller of the previous product did its job properly, I'm not sure what kind of authenticaltion issue would this be.
On the Licensing page on Central web UI I have Intercept X Advanced for Server valid until next year. By the way, this new installer didn't remove everything from /tmp/SophosCentralInstall_ so I can even see some of the credentials but I don't know what should I use for comparison.
The first time around, I thought it was just an installation error on my part, so I went through the entire process of re downloading the installer and setting it up all over again. Now I have 'Dropbox Installer', 'Dropbox Installer 1', and 'Dropbox Installer 2' all lined up on my desktop. My assumption is that the installers can be deleted after a successful installation of the app.
The problem is, I cannot eject any of the installers because I keep getting the message that the Finder is still using it (even though I am not aware of this being the case). I went through the whole "go to the activity monitor and force quit the app" process. Every other forum page gives explanations on how to uninstall the app, which is not what I want either. I just want to get rid of the three dropbox installers on my desktop

I've been trying to install McAfee Total Protection on my laptop (older dell model with windows vista 32-bit) and the installer will get up to the point where it is searching for incompatible programs, and then it just freezes and an error message from windows pops up saying it must be closed. Why is this not working!? I can't find a solution that has worked. A few days when I had tried to install it it detected some Radial Point program that needed to be uninstalled and I did just that, but since unistalling Radial Point the McAfee installer isn't working. Just as the installer is about to freeze, a bubble from windows security center shows up saying "Check your computer security: The Security Center service is not running. Click this notification to fix the problem". I clicked and it leads me to WSC, where everything is green-lighted except 'malware protection', which says PC-cillin is old and needs to be updated. When I click 'other options for virus protection', it says there is Norton and PC-cillin available but neither of those can be found anywhere on my computer. Not listed under program files or under the unistall tab in the control panel.
