Fatal Error !! Required NiPathsDir property METAUNINSTALLERDIR is undefined.

Put a new hard drive in a computer and am installing labview 8.5.1 again. I get the error - Fatal Error !! Required NiPathsDir property METAUNINSTALLERDIR is undefined. I found one page of instructions on fixing this and it did not help. Any help would be appreciated. thanks..

I have looked at this (it is printed and on my desk right now). The drive has not changed (D drive). The hard disk drive hasn't changed. We do have a network drive but I am trying to install it now with it not hooked up to the network. I have gone into the registry and it all looks like the computer sitting next to it that has labview installed on it.

Mindstorm NXT 2.0 on Windows 7, Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property NIMDFMANIFESTDIR is undefined.

I'm getting this error when trying to install LEGOS Minstorm NXT 2.0 on Windows 7 on my home computer: Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property NIMDFMANIFESTDIR is undefined.
It requires admin privileges, so I log on as admin. I've tried changing the Compatibility to Window XP Service Pack 2 or 3 and also chaning the Compatibility to use admini privileges.
I've found from solutions to similar errors posted on this website that it might be a problem with it not being able to find the My Documents folder.
There is a My Documents folder under the Admin user, but the target location is Documents, not My Documents. It won't let me change the target location to My Documents. I try copying the directory and changing the name by it won't let me.
I've tried part of a solution posted here:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=460&message.id=1000&query.id=7360616#M1000
I did everything except for the part about "You will need to make another package to add a My Documents folder to the local service user so that would be located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Local Service\My Documents"." because I didn't know how to do that. Plus, I think I would still run into the problem that the target location is not "My Documents", but I suppose I could just enter the target location as "Documents" if I knew how to specify it when I "make another package".

You really need to go to Legos for support. The only support here is with using LabVIEW with NXT.

LV 8.0 Installation For Distribution Error: Required NIPathsDir property MOZILLADIR undefined

I have built an application LV 8.0 and I am not trying to prepare a distribution package.
I have created a LabView Project (.lvproj) and I have created an Application in Build Specifications. That works just fine. I can generate a proper .exe with associated files.
I have then created an Installer in Build Specifications. This appears to work, and it generates installation files.
However, when I try to run my new Install, I get the following error:
Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property MOZILLADIR is undefined
There is nothing on my machine (or the other machine on which I tried this) referencing MOZILLA or anything to do with MOZILLA.
NOTE: I have previously created Applications and Installers in the Build Specifications for other LabView Projects with no problems at all.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Installation Problem : Fatal Error!!Required NIPathsDir Property LV80DIR is unspecified

Hi,
I have problem installing Lab View Student Edition 8.0 on my laptop running on Windows XP Pro (with service pack 2).
It says:
Fatal Error!!Required NIPathsDir Property LV80DIR is unspecified.
I seem to be able to install on my desktop running the same operating system, but i really need it on my laptop.
Help?
Thanks.

Hi cambridgeguy,
I have heard of similar problems which resulted from a corruption in the operating system (not good news unfortunately). A good debugging step would be to try installing something else to see if the trouble is constant through all MSI installers. Perhaps you could try installing our DAQ drivers and see if you get a similar error.
Let us know!

Multisim windows 7 fatal error -fatal error!! Required NIPathsDir property CDS110DIR is undefined

hiii ,I am trying to install multisim and ultiboard student edition in windows 7 .During installation an error pops out and says fatal error!! Required NIPathsDir property CDS110DIR is undefined.Please suggest me a solution.
Regards,
Techguru

Hi techguru,
When installing Multisim and Ultiboard, you need to be logged in as an Administrator. The issue here seems to be that the installer does not seem to have access to the folder and this can be because of not being logged in as admin. Try to log in as admin and try to install. If there is a firewall in place which could be causing this, you should disable it during installation.

Hello beckology,
This is an issue with the installation path. I would suggest taking a look at the following knowledgebase article:

When I try to copy and paste in a REPORT, 9i. An error occured as:

Any suggestions how to deal with it?
Thank you in advance.

Is this related to Metalink Note:1075869.6?
Is NLS_LANG set correctly?
If this doesn't solve the error, then I would suggest logging a service request with Oracle Support.

Muse Craziness and Error: Cannot read property 'parent node' of undefined

I have finished my site and exported as HTML, when you open the index file you see a quick preview of the site then the page goes white.
If I preview the site in a browser from Muse menu selection, I get this error and the content in my light boxes is all moved and some items not showing. Even pulled my footer items into the light box.
Note that all of this only happens when previewed or exported as HTML. Everything works as it should in the design mode. When I hit the preview tab, the browser fill shows then Muse is not responsive for 15-25 min.
I have no "added" Java Scripts, only used the available widgets within muse, I do have widgets nested inside of widgets which I believe may be the problem?
Error Im getting from the browsers (all of them)
"MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: Cannot read property 'parent node' of undefined"
I have began building my site in DW as this is becoming the usuall trip with Muse, as in every tiny change creates a ton of problems after export. The initial release was great and after the first update things just seem to be going downhill with every new update.

Hi JKurtBrown,
You seem to have some invalid HTML in a few of your custom HTML fields that is causing issues with the rest of the page. In many of the places where you have tables, you seem to have copy/pasted from a different source, but you are missing closing </div> tags for some of your code. Cleaning these up and closing these divs should allow your page to work without issue. If you need help narrowing down where the issues are, you can use the W3C Validator and it should be able to tell you where your issues are. The ones that say "No Closing Tag" are the ones you'll want to go through and fix first, as often times those can cause a lot of other issues.
Hope that helps,
Andrew

Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property NIDIR is undefined.

I receive this message while trying to install the signal express sw. When I get this message the installation is aborted. My scope is also not recognized by my pc device manager. I do not have labview installed on my pc, do I need it?

Steve29,
I apologize that you are having trouble installing SignalExpress. Is this with the SignalExpress 2.0 installation CD? If so, can you run the installer using the following in a command prompt :
<PATH TO CD>\setup.exe /log c:\temp\SEinstallerlog.txt
This will create a logfile from the installer in your "C:\temp\" folder with the name "SEinstallerlog.txt". Send that installer log to me at [email protected] I'll look at it to see what happened and get back to you with a way to correct it. This error should never be displayed in a released software product and I would like the logfile so I can see why it happened and correct it.
Thank you,
Eric Reffett

Thanks,
The failure is not because of display requirement but because of the below string in log which is strange.
Install MSI payload failed with error: 1620 - This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
1) Do you have any internet security software or Anti-virus software installed ? if yes, could you please turn it off and then check.
2) Are you installing from DVD or download link ?
