MeasurementStudio 2013 using VS2012 DAQmx Dependency Problem After Upgrading

[msouza]

I keep getting the following errors when trying to run a setup project after upgrading a solution that was previously VS2008 and MS2009 to VS2012 and MS2013:

Error 107 -4072: Error retrieving dependency Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.0138F525_6C8A_333F_A105_14AE030B9A54:0 of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\MStudioDAQmx.2008.msm ISEXP : error : -4072: Error retrieving dependency Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.0138F525_6C8A_333F_A105_14AE030B9A54:0 of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\MStudioDAQmx.2008.msm
 
 I've never had this before, but then again Microsoft decided to stop providing a setup and deployment package within VS2012.  So I downloaded the suggested freeware Flexera InstallShield Limited Edition (ISLE).  I was able to upgrade one of my solutions that was previously a VS2008 and had references to the NI.Common and UI because I was using the scatter graph control.  It did not have a problem.  I then attempted to upgrade this other project I had using the DAQmx and 488.2.  The projects compile and I can run them in debug mode.  But I can't get the Setup program to compile a Setup EXE file so I can deploy the program.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike,

A Corrective Action Request (382945) has been filed on this behavior and R&D is currently looking into a workaround. If possible, I would recommend using WiX. This is not a guranteed fix, but this has been used to successfully deploy Measurement Studio applications without the error you are receiving.

I was amazed but even with the error when attempting to build the setup, it created the setup.exe file and it was functional.  How can I find out when this problem gets resolved?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

You can search for any available updates or fixes on bugs by entering the following CAR# (382945) on the ni.com website search bar.

Hello,

I upgraded my project from

• Visual Studio 2010
• Measurement Studio 2012
• InstallShield Express 2012

to

• Visual Studio 2012
• Measurement Studio 2013
• InstallShield Express 2012 Spring

Now the problem is that I cannot build the setup program anymore. There are a lot of following errors:

Error 23 -4072: Error retrieving dependency MStudioCommon.2012.1C9B2EB5_9E34_4944_BA92_B30CCA4E9205:1033 of c:\program files (x86)\common files\merge modules\MStudioDAQmx.2012.msm ISEXP : error : -4072: Error retrieving dependency MStudioCommon.2012.1C9B2EB5_9E34_4944_BA92_B30CCA4E9205:1033 of c:\program files (x86)\common files\merge modules\MStudioDAQmx.2012.msm
 

Is this a big somewhere in the tools or just my problem..?

Yes.. thanks Anjelica,

I will wait for the "corective action"..

Changing InstallShield to WiX is maybe a good idea.. I will try to do that later.

I have also encountered this problem:

ISEXP : error : -4072: Error retrieving dependency Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.0138F525_6C8A_333F_A105_14AE030B9A54:0 of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\MStudioDAQmx.2008.msm

In our company we have never used WiX and it seems a lot of work to port an installer from InstallShield. How long will it take to fix this issue?

Has anybody managed to find a workaround?

[Yltsä]

The InstallShield is working now.

I installed all stuff related to Visual Studio 2010 in parallel to VS2012. After that I could deploy the new project in the VS2012 environment. It needed a lot of trials and errors but now it seems to work. Maybe it was missing merge modules Microsoft_VC100_.. I had just newer ones Microsoft_VC110..

PS: There are still two DAQmx errors.. But that is not blocking me anymore to stay in the old SW environment.

There is also another CAR#399267 that these errors are addressed, and our R&D is working on finding a solution for it.
