create system image.vi error localhost

[pabgarva]

Hi!

I have labview 2013 and I am trying to generate an image of all software installed in my computer.

I have tried with the simple code attached but an error pops up. Do you have any sugestion how to generete that kind of image? I will have to generate an image of the localhost computer and later also of the the remote computer (pxi system).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pablo

As far as I know, the 'create system image' VI is for remote targets like CompactRIOs (i.e. where you install an NI software set to the target). I don't think you can create an image of a desktop setup with it.

I think the closest you can get is to export a software configuration which will tell you what software and version you have installed on your PC (like you get with the NI MAX configuration report).
