Hello All,
I have been running CVI 2015 for a while (over a year i'd guess). While there is often an error that pops up with reference to XML settings in some NI file, the distrubution would proceed to build and consequently distribute. In retrospect, I should have looked more into that I guess.
Yesterday, that is behavior changed. Instead of throwing an error the progress just stops. When you "Abort Build", the button commentary switches to "Close " and "Aborting" appears above the progress bar , but that is it. "Explore Output Directory" still functions.
Eventually I use task manager to shut it down.
I have removed CVi 2015 and CVI 2013 and reinstalled CVi 2015 with no luck.
I tried making a new distribution from scratch. No luck.
I tried a different proven build and the same thing happens. By now I have convinced myself that the hang happens at the same point in the distribution build. This project is all native CVI code without any external linkages.
The point where the hangs occurs is always (somewhat limited testing for 30 tries)
"Building template.ini"
and that Template.ini (from the distribution builds directory) fails at the same point ( and in mulitple projects) where the last line is
"[Parts]"
Some representative files (template.ini and screen shot at hang) are attached.
Full disclosure: I am on a SSP and couldn't check out the physical media yesterday (download instead) and so I resisted scrubbing all of the NI software for now.
Is there any reason to think this might a Microsoft change (msi installer for instance) instead of a CVI setting / corruption?
Stumped on the day before vacation... but that always happens right?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
