RE: Caput.exe of CaLab was not a valid programe

Hi,

 

The download page for caLab doesn’t mention Windows XP, just Windows 7 and 10. If caLab was compiled on Windows 7 it will likely not work on Windows XP unless the Windows XP platform toolset (v90) was used rather than the default. I think Visual Studio 2010 may include v90 by default, in other visual studio versions you may need to add support separately e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/configuring-programs-for-windows-xp?view=vs-2015

 

If you are not able to recompile the caLab DLL from the source download, drop me an email and I’ll see if I can help out

 

Regards,

Freddie

Subject: Caput.exe of CaLab was not a valid programe

 

Hi Carsten and others,

I downloaded CaLab V1.6.0.10( 32 bit) -----Setup for Windows© and LabVIEW™ 8.5 32 bit and higher (source code included) V1.6.0.10  (no separate EPICScomponents required) JUN 2018.

    But when I run StartDemo.bat, I was told "softIOC.exe was not a valid Win32 program" , "caput.exe was not a valid Win32 program".

   Then I tried the old version for labview7.0. It worked well but it didn't have the private file, which I need.

   And I saw the path, I think they both were good.

   I doubt the point was the OS, not sure.

   Could someone tell me how to do it.

 

Thank you,

Li Xing
