Can't Uninstall Labview Run-Time engine 6.0

I've uninstalled Labview 6.0 however, Run-time engine is still listed under the Add/Remove wizard in windows. I've manually unistalled it successfully but, it reappears, even after reboot.
How do I uninstall it for good?
thanx,

J-Tek,
I would suggest re-installing the Run-time Engine and then uninstalling it after a reboot. Also, you can download a program called Msicuu.exe (for NT, 2000, XP or Msicu.exe for 9x) to help clean up the registry for uninstalled programs.

How can I uninstall Labview run time engine from the machine?

I understand that Labview has not given any provision to show customized 'License Agreement screen'. Isn't it? This is the main cause of my problem. Since I want to show our own license agreement (LA) screen, I made the one using Labview. To show this license agreement screen, I first install a small application which has only this LA screen with Labview run time engine. The customer can see License Agreement Screen with Labview Run Time Engine on his machine. If My customer accepts the LA, I will install the main application further by calling another setup.EXE file.
If my customer selects 'Do Not Agree' to the LA, I will quit the installation process. Here I also want to 'uninstall' Labview Run Time Engine
from his machine since he doesn't accept License. I would like to know how to uninstall Labview run time engine from his machine?
Another way which I could think is to run the LA screen from the CD with Labview run time engine on the CD. I will start installing the main S/W to the customer's machine with LABview Run Time Engine only after he accepts License agreement. I would like to know how to run the Labview application from CD without installing run time engine on the target machine?
Can anyone suggest solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Chander

Error 1722 when uninstalling Labview run-time engine 7.1.1

I have been trying to uninstall all NI software so I can start off with a clean slate. I have been going to the control panel under add/remove programs to remove the NI stuff. Everything is gone except the Labview run-time engine 7.1.1. Everytime i try to remove it, i get teh 1722 error followed by the 1603 error. I've tried repairing it but I still get the same results when i try to remove it agian. I've also tried removing it with MSI Blast. This did not work either. I've gone through the registry and manually deleted anything related to NI and that still didn't work. Is there anything else I could try?
Thanks,
Nick

Hey Steve,
I have tried repairing it through the control panel.
I tried reinstalling just the run-time engine and it said it was already installed. So I reinstalled Labview 7.1 and repaired the 7.1.1 run-time engine through the control panel. Then I uninstalled everything. Thanks for all your help
Thanks again,
Nick

Uninstalling LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1

Hi, I get an error message during uninstalling NI LabVIEW
Run-Time Engine 6.1:
Error 2727 NETSCAPEPLAGINSDIR
How can I fix this problem?

Armen,
Here is my guess as to what happened:
1. You had Netscape installed on your machine.
2. You installed the LabVIEW Run-time Engine which installed the remote panel plugin into Netscape.
3. You uninstalled Netscape.
4. You are trying to uninstall the LabVIEW Run-time Engine.
If this is correct, then try installing Netscape again, uninstall the LabVIEW Run-time Engine, and finally uninstall Netscape again. If this does not work, then please submit a phone request at http://www.ni.com/ask to get help with MSIBlast.

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

Can I use LabView Run-Time Engine on Windows XP?

An Application uses LV Run-Time Engine 5.1, i want to use this application on windows XP, can i use the same version of the RTE, if not, what is the solution??

To eleminate the possibility of errors, you need to convert the application to a version fully compatible with windows XP, like 6.1 or 7.0 (6.02 should do it)
Would version 5.1 work with XP, NI do not gaurantee that. However, I had installed apllications written in version 5.1.1 and worked fine under XP. In your case, just give a try, if it did not work as expected, you may have functuionality that may not be fully comptaible with XP.

Can LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0 control LabVIEW 6.1 VIs?

I'm attempting to remotely control a LabVIEW 6.1 example VI through the browser plugin on another system. On that other system, can I use LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0? Or do I need 6.1?

Never mind, I should have read the RTE 7.0 information first. I need LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 to run LabVIEW 6.1 VIs.

Can I run two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC?

Hello, I am curious if anyone knew if it is possibly to install and use two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC? I currently have the 2009 Run-Time Engine installed on one machine and wanted to install the 2011 Run-Time Engine as well. I know that you can run two separate versions of the LabVIEW program on one machine, but what about the Run-Time Engine?
Thanks!
Solved!

I'm guessing this is a bug that NI needs to fix. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to install the run-time engine of an older version. I'd be interesed in if it allows you to install the older development environment, which also includes the older run-time engine. There are some command line switches for NI installers as mentioned here:

I wonder if there is a force install option.

Can I use the labview run-time engine 2010 with my LV 2012 program?

Hi all,
I will receive the new Labview Developer Suite 2012 DS2 in a few days and
I am wondering if it is possible to run LV2012 programs on the LV run-time engine 2010 or is it necessary to update all my clients from run-time engine 2010 to 2012?

Go to Solution.

Hi Benjamin,
You will not be able to use the LabVIEW 2010 run-time engine with LabVIEW 2012 applications. Versions of run-time engines need to correspond with the version of LabVIEW that you have installed.
The following links direct you to our download pages for the run-time engine:
The 32-Bit Run-Time Engine can be downloaded from our website as can the 64-Bit Run-Time Engine, depending on which version of operating system you, use by clicking the link under "Standard Download".
Hope this helps.

Executable not working - Looking for LabVIEW Run-Time Engine

This has been one of those days.
I'm trying to create my .exe file to place onto another computer. I've done this before with success. But that was then and this is now.
I believe I have all the files I need in my LLB, and I believe I did my application distribution correctly and I believe I built the DLL correctly. But when I took the resulting .exe file and placed it on another computer and attempted to run it, it gave me the error message: "Unable to locate LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Program requires a version 7.1 (or compatible) LabVIEW Run-Time engine. You should have already realized this, you moron."
Anyone have any idea where I went wrong or what step I might have missed? This has been a crazy, non-stop, massive brain fart of a day and I can't seem to remember what I'm missing here.

Hi.
Whenever you want to use executables or .dll's created with LabVIEW you must make sure that the LabVIEW runtime engine of the SAME version as the LabVIEW version used to create the files, is installed in the target computer.
There are basically 2 ways to get the run-time engine installed on a computer:
1. (the one I prefer): Download the correct version of the LabVIEW run-time engine installer from www.ni.com/downloads, or more specifically from
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/369618104E25B08E86256F54006A4E2F?opendocument&node=132050_US
for the latest one. Once you have the installer for the run-time engine, just install it in the target computer. I prefer this option because the run-time engine is installed independently, so if you then uninstall your program, the run-time engine remains.
2. Create an installer for your program that includes the run-time engine. To include the run-time engine, when you are creating your application, go to the "installer settings" tab, click on "Advanced" and make sure there is a checkmark on "include LabVIEW run-time engine". This way when you install your program in the target computer, the run-time engine will also be installed.
Just as a note, any computer with LabVIEW on it, will also have the run-time engine.
Good luck.

Unable to locate the LabVIEW Run-Time engine

Using LabVIEW 2011, I have built an executable and installer including the LabVIEW Run-Time engine. I built the app on a 32-bit system. I'm deploying it to a Windows7 64-bit system. When I ran the installer, rebooted, then tried to run the app, I got an error messsage stating "Unable to locate LabVIEW Run-Time Engine", stating that the LVRTE 2011 was needed to run the app, and asking if I want to download from NI. I have tried downloading the RTE and re-installing it, but when I try, I get an error message from the installer stating that there is a newer version of the RTE already installed, and the installer exits! I have tried un-installing the application, but have had no luck removing the RTE. Now I'm stuck. The re-installed executable application says it can't find the RTE, and the RTE installer says there's a later version already installed!
I can't go forward or backwards!
Prior to running the installer for this app, I had a working LVRTE for 2011, and was running some other executable LabVIEW programs on the target box. However, since this new application had additional components not included in the original install of the RTE, I built the new installer which included the additional components. Once I ran that installer, my problems began.
In my frustration, I've tried downloading from NI both the 32 and 64-bit versions of the RTE, and installing them. I realize that the app was built on a 32-bit system, so the 32-bit RTE SHOULD have run it fine, but didn't.
At this point I have removed the 64-bit RTE using the NIUninstaller. I believe I need to completely remove all 32-bit RTE components and start over, but I have not been able to. The 32-bit RTE does not show up in any un-install utilities I've found.
What could be causing this problem, and how do I get past it??
Thank you.

One thing I did discover in my struggles is that the RunTime engine on the target box needs to be based on the environment of the development box. So if you built the app on a 32-bit machine, you would need to install the 32-bit RTE, even on your 64-bit target box.
The RTE Uninstaller might not show up in the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility. In my case the 64-bit RTE uninstaller showed up, but the 32-bit did not. The NiUninstaller (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\NIUninstaller) did list both RTEs for uninstalling, but still didn't get me past the problem.
I was finally only able to get past the problem by doing a system restore to a point in time prior to my changing of the RTE.
Good luck.

MAX giving error - Unable to locate Labview run-time engine

I have LV 7.1 and 8.5.1 installed on a WinXP pc. No problems until now.
I installed some support software for a LabJack interface, which required LV version 6.1 run-time, so I let it install that.
I now get the error whenever I run MAX:
"Unable to locate the Labview run-time engine. LVBrokerAux71 requires a version 7.1 (or compatible) Labview run-time engine...."
After closing the error boxes, MAX seems to work fine. Both versions of Labview also work. I uninstalled run-time engine 6.1 and re-installed version 8.5.1, but that made no difference. I tried to install run-time version 7.1 from the msi file but it would not let me because a later version of the run-time is installed.
What is LV Broker? Why does it not accept version 8.5.1 run-time engine? Is it possible to have 2 versions of the run-time engine installed, and if so, how?

Dear CDancer
Thank you for contacting NI. First of all, you can have as many versions of LabVIEW run time engines you want loaded on your computer without a problem. LV Broker is installed by all drivers that uses LabVIEW testpanels like DAQmx does. In your case it seems that the LV Broker installation is corrupted or has failed. This can be rectified by overwriting the files in the specified directory listed below:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Broker
Your directory should look like the screenshot I have attached; labelled LV Broker Directory View
I have attached a ZIP File that will replace the LV Broker directory. Please try replacing your files with these if different to the screenshot and let me know how you get on. Many thanks.
Many thanks for using the NI forums and I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards

Teststand error states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine

I am getting an error in teststand that states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'
If I look at the software loaded on my system with the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer I have Labview Run Time engines for version 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014 on my system.
How do I get this VI to run on this system when it is called by test Stand?
Thank you

The RTE 14.0 was loaded as part of my deployment and after I ran this I got an update notice for the F1 patch which I also loaded.
I do not have labview loaded on this system, only the run time engines from running my deployment.
When I launch t he teststand sequence, when it calls the labview VI, I get the following error moessage:
Error: Failed to load VI 'C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi' in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'. LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. This error may occur because the VI is either broken or contains a subVI that LabVIEW cannot locate. Select File>>Open to open the VI and verify that you can run it. VI Path: C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi[Error Code: -17600, Failed to load a required step's associated module. ]
I have attached the teststand sequence if this helps.

Include LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in C# Project Distribution

I have written a software package in Visual Studio using C# which calls a number of functions from a dll which I have built in LabVIEW. I am now trying to produce an installation program for my C# package but can't quite work out how to include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in this installation.
I am creating the installation program by defining a Visual Studio Deployment Project and I have added my LabVIEW dll to this. However, the dll requires the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine to also be installed on the target PC. I was hoping that there would be a set of files to implement the installation of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine that I could include in my Visual Studio Deployment Project and do the installation of both my C# code and my LabVIEW dll (inc Engine) in one operation. Is this possible? Or do I need to produce a LabVIEW installation for my dll separately from the C# installation?
Info:
Development OS = Windows 2000
Target OS = Windows XP
C# Development Environment = Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 V8.0
LabVIEW Version = 8.5
Also, I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and noticed that there seemed to be an 'Order Analysis Run-Time Engine' installed on my PC. Do I need this too?
Thanks for any help.
CAS

Hi CAS,
One way of automating the installation of the LabVIEW run-time engine is to use commands in a batch file (*.bat). These commands would be executed automatically at the same time as your distribution installer to install LVRT with your C# application. For more information on command line options, have a look at this KB. I don't have so much knowledge of C# distributions, though, so there may be a better way to approach this that someone else in the community could advise you on.
With regard to the order analysis toolkit, you will also need this runtime engine installed. A point to note, though, is that the toolkit requires a run-time licence to be deployed in this fashion. It is now part of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite and needs to be licenced accordingly.
I hope this helps!
