LabVIEW 8.5 - error: M&A Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly: what to do?
Dear NI creators and users,
I freshly installed the LabVIEW 8.5 and the default set of device drivers (on a new Windows XP machine), all of which I downloaded as disk images from our university central repository (we have a site-wide license). The first thing I tried to place in my first VI was the "Instrument I/O Assistant" and I got this message: "Measurement and Automation Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly. Please install these from the LabVIEW Driver CD." I tried to repair the installation, but no change. The M&A Explorer comes up fine, when I select it from the Tools menu, so I doubt, that the problem is there. Needless to say, the "Instrument I/O Assistant" throws the same error when double-clicked in the template file.
Does anybody have a similar or the same experience? What can I do to solve this problem? Perhaps I should add that the computer with LabVIEW is intentionally not connencted to the internet, so in case the solution involves an update, I would very much appreciate some guidance to an off-line update
Many thanks to all for any helpful remarks.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
the following knowledge base contains some information how to troubleshoot:

Maybe you didn't install the NI-VISA or NI-488.2 driver.
I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
With best regards

PS:
If that wouldn't work for you, download the latest driver-CD from our website and install it. ( It may take a while. )

I'd recommend to use an USB-harddisk for transferring the files.

Measurement and Automation explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly.
I am having difficulties getting Labview to work with my NI card. I have a PCI_6225 card running on a Win 7 64-bit install. I had to download all of the drivers and installers from the NI site and during the Labview install, I recieve a prompt asking for my hardware drivers. Since I only have the compressed hardware installer, Labview doesn't like what it sees and continues the installation of LABVIEW. I then attempt to open an analog input channel through the Instrument I/O Assistant which displays the error seen in the image attached.
I know the hardware works because in the Measurement and Automation client, I am able to observe the analog input I hope to collect in LABVIEW.
Is there a fix to get LABVIEW working? I have tried multple installs of LABVIEW and am on a administered computer through my University's IT people. I have 'full admin' rights. Thanks.

error.jpg 254 KBHello jbaxter,
When you download the Drivers from NI's website, make sure you unzip them (extract them) to a folder on your computer before you install them. If you use the NI Downloader it should prompt you to unzip and run the files after the download is complete. You need to either repair, or reinstall DAQmx and NI VISA. Make sure you download the latest versions of these first:
http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/global/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/1//en/...
Then go to Control Panel»Programs and Features»National Instruments Software and click Uninstall/Change then go to DAQmx and NI-VISA and click Repair. You can then point to folder that you downloaded from NI's website (make sure this is not a zip folder, but the folder that has been extracted). Or you could choose Remove, and then reinstall them both again. Also if you are using GPIB, reinstall or repair the NI-488.2 driver.

When I try to open Itunes I get this error msg, 'This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re install iTunes (-42404), I have tried repairing, no joy, uninstalling and re installing, no joy. Any ideas?
<Subject Edited by Host>For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I downloaded the latest iTunes version and now get the following error message: "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." Can anyone provide suggestions on what I should do next?
Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".

Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly
I have a trial version of LabView 8.5. Upon trying to change the Instrument I/O Assistant, I get "Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly. Please install from driver CD." Well, I don't have the CD since this was a trial download.
Basically, what I am trying to do is this: I want to pull 4 variables/tags from an Allen Bradley PLC and log them to an Excel spreadsheet. I am using RSLinx to communicate with the PLC, and LabView to compile the info.
Any help would be appreciated.Any Ideas? I have the program running right now, and I'm kinda in a bind. I also tried RSView32 Works to log the info, but there isn't enough flexibility in logging. I need to log flow rate test results from a large automated machine. The mahcine does a number of operations, but we are most concerned with these four tags (since it conducts four tests at once). The problem is, the cycle time varies with the lot of product. Some products require more time as the process is more delicate. So, I can't use a time-interval logging method.
As for variable change, I can't do that either because it records the 4 test results in series; not all at the same time. That, and if the test is aborted (no tube), the previous test result value stays in the tag until there is a successful test.
I found a variable that changes once per cycle. I'd like to log the four tags once per cycle.
BUT I can't do anything until I get the I/O Wizard working. -

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.
TristanUpon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

I have the latest version of iTunes and when I went to go open it, it can't! It says: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.Error 7 (Windows error 126)" What do I do now? Should I uninstall and try installing it again? I don't want to loose any of my music and info. PLEASE HELP!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

ITunesHelper was not installed correctly. Error 7 Help!! My itunes worked yesterday.
My itunes wont open without an error message that says itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 14001) What has caused this and how do I get my itunes back????
after i researched this issue for several days and i emailed apple support this is what i did and it really worked. somewhere i saw on a post to download revo uninstaller because it gets rid of all aspects of a program. i downloaded the revo uninstaller pro. you get a 30 day free trial. i uninstalled everything apple. there is a place on there where you check what scale of scan to use. the first time i used medium on the first few items and advanced on the rest. the advanced scan really went through each and every file after the so called uninstall and found traces of the programs. i had to check boxes beside files that had traces and removed them all. (I ended up having to do this twice because the first time i did this the error box kept popping up when i reinstalled, so my advice is to choose advanced each and every time. also after the first time, that box popped up during the reinstall of itunes that said i needed permission to install something.) Next thing i did was checked on the recent updates and installs on my computer. windows/ms had installed 3 things in those automatic updates. i uninstalled all 3. i'm convinced that there is a corrupt file in there somewhere. there are several fixes and scans on the left side of revo, and i ran several of them just to check. the final one on the bottom was an evidence remover. since everywhere i have seen says to remove all traces, apparently when you empty the recycle bin it really doesnt get rid of it. so i did the evidence remover. it took all day. almost 9 hours. next, apple support had suggested i go to windows update site and download the latest version of there update software. i was wary, but i did this update. i restarted my computer. next i went back to apple and reinstalled itunes. during the reinstall, the box that said i needed permission didn't pop up. after the install the error box didnt pop up. and when i went to itunes, everything was there. i cant tell you which exact step fixed it, but something did. good luck to you. i emailed the apple support guy back and mentioned the revo uninstalled. i'm pretty sure that advanced scan really did the better delete than just uninstalling.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.
