Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Professional Development System

Problem:

If you have enabled Windows High Memory Allocation on Vista x64 and the latest version of the NI Meta-Deployment Framework on your system is 2.6.1.X or lower, then LabVIEW Application Builder will fail with:

Error: Windows SDK function returned an error. (Error code -12)

This issue could occur on LabVIEW 8.6.1 or lower.

Note 1: To determine the version of your Meta-Deployment Framework, check the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\Common\Installer\MDF\Version

Note 2: Windows High Memory Allocation is enabled by setting the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"AllocationPreference"=dword:00100000

Solution:

This is a known issue filed under Corrective Action Request #167928. To work around this issue, disable High Memory Allocation by setting the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "AllocationPreference"=dword:00000000
