NOTE By default, YourVIEW is installed in folder C:\Program
Files\YourVIEW. When started after installation, YourVIEW will
write to this path. With Windows XP and older Windows versions,
this will not pose any problems, but Windows Vista, which is strict
about file access, especially in C:\Program Files, and only gives
ordinary users read access to files by default, will cause trouble.
To circumvent this problem, so as follows:
On Windows Vista, install YourVIEW in a folder other than
C:\Program Files,
or
Give ordinary users full access to the files within the YourVIEW
installation folder. Do as follows:
1.
Install YourVIEW under C:\Program Files\YourVIEW.
2. Right click on C:\Program Files\YourVIEW, then click on
Properties.
3. Select Security, then Edit.
4. Highlight the group for ordinary users, then tick the full control
box.
5.
After installing the YourVIEW application, the installation
program automatically also installs the LabVIEW Runtime
Engine, which is required for running the application, as well as
the Data Socket, which is required for communication between
different modules.
6. The setup program generates an executable file called
YOURVIEW.exe and the associated files into the directory you
selected for the YourVIEW path (the default directory is
YourVIEW).
NOTE The installation program also creates an Uninstall icon intended for
deleting YourVIEW from the PC, or for removing an old version
before installing the updated software.
7.
When the installation of the basic set is complete, remove the
CD-ROM from the drive. Store the CD-ROM in a safe place,
and/or take a backup copy.
