LabVIEW 2010 thinks it is already installed thus preventing me from installing it

I had 2010 installed before, then a terrible problem with file corruption damaged the installation and now I need to reinstall it.
Problem is that no NI installs appear on 'Add/Remove programs' so I cannot 'repair' or 'remove'. Also when I install from the DVD it thinks 2010 is already installed and just shows 'Currently installing LabVIEW 2010 (English) for a second' and then reports 'No software installed or removed'.
I've even tried deleting the National Instruments folder from Program Files but this did not help.
Any ideas on how I can force a reinstall - maybe I need to modify something in the registry?

All NI Software is listed as a single entry called 'National Instruments' in the add/remove programs.
If that is not available, I would try to run msiblast (see here)

Prevent Air from Installing

Team,
I have to install various products from Adobe, but I would like to disable or prevent Air from installing during the process. What are some steps to achieve this task? I use SCCM to update my Adobe products.

Password protect access to your AIR file. :)
More seriously, there's no AIR specific way to prevent
someone from stealing and serving your AIR files.
You'd have to resort to traditional methods like asking for a
serial before downloading or some form of content
management.

When I attempt to forward e-mail a box appears with the message: unable to load null status:404, thus preventing me from forwarding an e-mail.l

I checked this out with Verizon tech and it was determined that the problem was with the Firefox browser. With Safari I have no problem forwarding e-mails. This box appeared for the first time on June 15. I have never seen it before. I still am able to send and receive e-mails. The only function that does not work, since 6/15, is the ability to forward an e-mail. I have Firefox version 31.0. I work on an Apple IMac.
I have already re-installed the default version of Firefox, deleted all my history. Nothing has worked to eliminate that message. The Verizon tech person said that there seems to be a problem between my router and Firefox. I don't understand how this problem suddenly cropped up 4 days ago. Will I be able to resolve this or will I have to switch to another browser? One more bit of info: my O.S. is Mac 10.6.8.
Thank you.

Hi leonbolo,
Oh noz, I am sorry to hear that there is an issue with Firefox and the router and that clearing the cache and reinstalling is still causing this issue. We are happy to help.
Please see these also for reference:
*[[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
*[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
Two things I can think of:
*Ping the router from Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pingler/ Pingler addon ]
*See if the smtp that the Verizon mail uses is ping able as well. (rebooting the router is the default troubleshooting if it was working before. )
Please post back, it could help other users as well!

How do I stop parallels and windows 7 preventing me from installing office for mac 2011 on my new iMac?

I am trying to install office for mac 2011 on my new imac which I have already installed parallels and windows 7. On inserting the office dvd the computer defaults to windows. Parallels support suggested disabling the dvd drive in parallels. I have tried this but still the computer wants to open the exe file with windows. Any ideas please?

How do I prevent Firefox from installing a new version when I click on the "Check for New Version" button? And why does it even do this?

I check for updates manually and this is frustrating because I can't stop it once it starts. There is no "Cancel" button or anything that will stop the update.
"Check for updates" does not mean "Install updates"

OK, I guess that's what I'll do. Thanks.
I do have to say it is kind of ridiculous for them to remove the "There is an update. Do you want to install it?" that every other application uses. Even FF plug-ins use one. Checking for an update should not automatically install it.
That is bad enough, but removing the "Cancel" button during the update download is one for the ages. Whatever happened to "user-friendly"? I guess they know what we need better than we do.

An update was downloaded without my permission, and it says Install pending... how do I prevent it from installing?

I made the mistake of clicking "check for updates" because it instead downloaded the update. I have my settings set to "check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" but the "Check for Updates" button does not allow me to choose... they're downloaded immediately.
This is a serious violation of my trust in Firefox and I will not allow these updates to be installed. If I can't stop them... I will uninstall Firefox and wash my hands of Mozilla permanently.
Firefox 14.0.1
Mac OS X 10.7.5

The check for update but don't don't install only applies to automatic updates. It doesn't apply if you click the update button yourself. Also, running such an old version of Firefox leaves you at serious risk for attack or loss of personal information. You should update to 16.0.2 immediately to stay secure.

HT1414 My iPhone 4 has recently started shutting off overnight. I have to power it back up each morning to use it again thus preventing me from being able to use the basic alarm clock feature.

How do I correct this recent issue where my iPhone 4 powers down overnight? It started shutting down as if I turned off the phone. It began around three or four weeks ago in December 2013. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I bought my iPhone 4 in January 2010 and use Verizon cellular service.

At first I suspected a bad connection with a Sharper Image charging dock. But I find that it shuts off overnight even when I don't charge it. I can have it charged up at night, not go to use it until the next morning and have to hit the Home key either with a quick double-click or long hold down on Home key until the Aplle logo appears, in order to be able to use the phone again. I have not resorted to wiping the iPhone to full restore yet.

Firefox downloaded an update against my option preference; how do I prevent it from installing?

I had my options set to ask me before downloading or installing updates. I was delaying downloading 4.0.1 until the issue with Norton Toolbar is resolved. Today, Firefox downloaded the update anyway and will install the next time I restart Firefox. How do I prevent the installation? And how did my options get changed to automatically download and install, as I later discovered. I am POSITIVE that I did not change them and the update had been asking to install prior to today.

How to prevent Adobe from installing Google Chrome?

Hi all. It was either this Win 7 security forum of the 2008 R2 group policy forum so I figured more people run iinto this here than anybody. I'm a bit shocked to find I can't get an answer on this via Googling (then again, maybe Google disables
relevant search results, given the context of the situation)
As a standard build process for 2008 R2 domain-joined Win 7 computers, I manually install the latest Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash from www.adobe.com
Both products install with default settings to self-update in the future, which is done via a system service, which is what I want since I don't allow my users admin rights on their systems. And when I install these two items I always uncheck the optional
Google installs. However inevitably a month or two later I log onto a computer only to find Chrome installed.
Pardon the comment here TechNet moderators but needless to say, Google & Adobe [removed expletive]. If I uncheck the option to install Google Chrome and Toolbar when I first install the products, it means I don't want the damn things on there
later either. And neither does any other IT admin out there I am certain.
I looked in both Reader and Flash configuration menus and don't see a way to prevent this installation of optional items. The only option is basically to disable self-updating completely (in Flash's case at least - I can't even find the option
in Adobe Reader DC).
So with my rant and what not out of the way, is there a GPO method to prevent this, and yet still allow these products to self-update? Or any other solution to this problem at all? Thanks for your time. And if you are someone from Google
or Adobe responding, please understand I don't have a gripe against individuals, just the damned company that shoves unwanted junkware down our throats. FU larry and shantanu :)

I caught wind of some sort of management platform they have for hosting your own internal Adobe distribution server or something. I imagine that's their answer to this issue. Otherwise we're all chasing after a pointless pursuit - Adobe &
Google have what I assume is a multi-million dollar agreement to which a vocal minority of IT admins aren't going to find a way to reverse so there's no point in bothering with this since the whole structure of the arrangement is obviously designed to maximize
Chrome penetration to the market. Tech support may or may not know of workarounds but since any widespread workaround would go counter to the profitability of the above assumed agreement, I am certain I will be wasting my time. It's clear to me
the intent here is to push Chrome to millions of users via the auto-update of Flash, and so it's probably covered by the EULA as well, some kind of provision stating that if you accept auto-updating you accept 3rd party installs too.

How can I stop Firefox 4.0 from preventing me from installing a Yahoo toolbar?

I have Windows 7. As soon as I download Firefox 4 I lost my Yahoo toolbar. When I try to reinstall it, I keep getting long error messages with lots of numbers that tell me that Firefox prevents the installation. I want my Yahoo toolbar. Clicking on and off the Yahoo toolbar in Tools does not work either.

It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate.
You can check that by looking at the pref app.update.channel on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Prevent user from installing fonts

I work in a newspaper enviorment. Machines are set up with two users, Admin and Standard user. I'd like to keep the user fonts in their User>library>Font folders, but would like them to NOT be able to install fonts. We have specified purchased fonts, and do not want any questionable fonts installed.
Any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Maybe parental controls, but I don't know. Alternatively, set the corporate policy and severely reprimand/fire any violators. Treat them like kids and they'll act that way; treat them as adults and they should act accordingly.

After an absence of two months, I reopened my laptop, without updating Firefox 4.9. I installed Firefox 5.0 and since then Firefox is blocked asking to close down after earlier updates and preventing me from installing Firefox 5.0.

When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop I receive the following error report: "Your computer must be restarted to complete previous update of Firefox. Do you want to reboot?

You apparently have Firefox checked in Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab > Automatically check for updates to:.
If you want to install 5.0 then you have no option other than to reboot to complete the update. Then you can install v. 5.0.
