LabVIEW constantly tries to install CVI 8.1 runtime engine

I am testing LabVIEW on a VISTA laptop before we convert all our PC's from 2000 to VISTA. Software install looked OK including NI-DAQmx 8.72, I plugged my cDAQ-9172 in and MAX saw it correctly. As soon as I started a test panel the "CVI 8.1 Runtime Engine" window popped up and it configured CVI 8.1 runtime and asked me to restart. I restarted and the exact same thing happened, also happens if I start LabVIEW.
I tried NI-DAQmx 8.80 updated my installer from Microsoft and the problem still exists. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

After uninstalling and reinstalling LabVIEW and all the drivers several times I found that version 2.5 of the 488.2 was the problem. I did a complete removal, clean, and reinstall with LabVIEW 8.2.1, NI-DAQmx 8.8 and NI-488.2 2.6 in a Vista business version HP laptop. So far everything is playing nice.

  • Oracle Universal Installer tries to install an older Java Runtime

    I downloaded the Rdb ODBC Driver for Windows with Oracle Universal Installer. The Installer would install JRE 1.3 but I already have 1.5.
    How can I avoid this?
    Thank you.

    I installed the ODBC Driver with the Oracle Universal Installer.
    Now I have the directory C:\Programme\Oracle\jre\1.3.1. This means that the installer has not detect my Java 5 installation and uses its own JRE 1.3.
    I remains one question:
    Who has done this?

  • Windows tries to install Labview Run-Time Engine 7.0...

    I recently installed an application that installed Labview CVI Runtime engine.  Anyway, ever since that time, everytime I start Labview, Windows tries to install Labview Runtime engine 7.0.  It asks for a lvruntimeeng.msi file.  I tried pointing it to one that I had on my system, but I think it was not version 7.0 because I got a message saying it was invalid.  Anyway, I don't know why it's doing this to me, but I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm just trying to give it what it is asking for.  I've searched the net for lvruntimeeng.msi files, but everytime I point it to such a file, Windows says it's invalid.  I've only found a .exe file for version 7.0.  Has anybody ever run across this problem.  Or....does anybody have NI Labview Runtime Engine v7.0 in a .msi file?

    I don't know why this is happening. The exe you have is from drivers and updates. Download this file and run it. It is an selfextracting archive which will start the setup for the runtime engine. After you have installed the 7.0 runtime engine in this way LV shouldn't ask about it.
    The one thing I can imagine isr that the installed application changed a common component, e. g. Data socket, into an older version. A repair installation of your LV may also help you.

  • Trouble installing labview runtime engine

    Can not install labview runtime engine.  Says there is already a higher version installed.

    Yes, this is a pain - and I have no idea why NI would design their installers in this way. I can think of no rational reason. In any case, the work around is to uninstall everything and then reinstall in a different order. For example, I ran into the problem was trying to install a runtime executable on a machine that already has some NI drivers installed. Part of that installation was that it installed the V7.1 runtime engine. When I then went to install my executable which was built in V7.0 it wouldn't install. To get around this bug I had to uninstall all NI software and then reinstall my executable and then the drivers, in that order.

  • LabView Runtime Engine 7.0 trys to install at start up

    This just started happening, every thing was fine a few days ago. Now when I click on the LabVIEW desktop ICON it says it wants to install the 7.0 Runtime Engine. And asks for disk#3  Do I need this?  Eventually after canceling prompts for a few minutes it loads my lab view and my VIs seem to work fine.
    I,m using the 8.6 student edition,
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Alan,
    The lvruntimeeng.msi that you said your program is looking usually resides in your drivers installer folder with a path like this:
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI-DAQmx\<Your Version>\NIDAQ<Version>-1\Products\LabVIEW_Runtime_Engine_71\LV711RTE
    Mine is exactly this path:
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI-DAQmx\9.0.2\NIDAQ902-1\Products\LabVIEW_Runtime_Engine_71\LV711RTE
    The 7.1 Runtime Engine is uniquely named "lvruntimeeng.msi". The 8.0 is named "lv80runtime.msi" and 8.2 is "lv82runtime.msi" and so on. Since we cannot install this 7.1 RTE because you have a more recent version installed, please check the path name described above to see if  your 7.1 Run-time Engine MSI is in there. Maybe even run a search to see if it is present anywhere on the system.
    If not, we can uninstall and reinstall your DAQmx drivers and reinstall them since they will have each Run-time Engine MSI.
    Clearly there has been a file structure mishap and these can typically only be remedied by completely reinstalling the program(s) that initially installed the file(s).

  • Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

    I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
    Solved!

    Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
    Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
    This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

  • When Trying to Install Labview 8.6.1 on Windows 7 Get Error Code -12

    When Trying to Install Labview Deveopment Suite 8.6.1 on Windows 7 Get " *** Error: Windows SDK Function Returned an Error (Error Code -12)"
    I assume a compatability issue will Labview installer and Windows 7.  Is there a work arround?

    I figured as much, but maybe if enough peole are interested NI will be pushed to a solution.
    It's not that the programm won't run, it's that the installer fails before it even gets installed.
    I am using Windows 7 RC Build 7100.  It installs and runs just fine in Virtual XP Mode on Virtual PC for windows 7 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) which I find works better than compatability mode.

  • Trying to install LabVIEW and getting error 1935

    I am trying to install LabVIEW on my computer and I am getting the following error:
    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.MSXML2R, processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"...
    Please refer to Help and support for more information. HREULT: 0x80070002.
    I have the option to continue installation, but at the end it fails anyways.
    Thanks for your help.

    If it is the same as shown in my previous reply, this is what NI recommends:
    "Solution: This error during installation is commonly caused by restrictions placed on your system by spyware blocking software such as Ad-Aware, etc. Turn off any spyware blocking software and try the installation again."

  • I Have mac osx 10.5.8 and have tried to update to mac osx snow leopard 10.6.3, but I constantly get the install failed message. What could be the problem?

    My imac is currently running mac os x 10.5.8. I've tried to install mac osx snow leopard 10.6.3, but have been unsuccesful because the disc fails to install.
    What could be the problem?

    noondaywitch wrote:
    You should boot from the Installer DVD by holding down the C key during start up until the Apple logo and spinning cog wheel appears. Allow plenty of time for the installer to appear - it can take several minutes when booting from a disc.
    I suggest not doing this unless the Apple recommended method (starting by double-clicking on the
    Install Mac OS X icon while booted up normally) fails.
    There are several reasons for this:
    The Apple method performs a check of the DVD's integrity before starting up from it. This can't be done if you start up directly from the DVD.
    The Apple method "phones home" using the current OS's network settings to check for updates to the incompatible items database included on the DVD & writes a lot of pre-install data (the 'Mac OS X Install Data' stuff) to the HD before restarting automatically from the DVD to finish the installation. This may not work as expected if you start up directly from the DVD.
    The pre-install data on the HD speeds up the installation process (because running the OS from the HD to build the data is faster than doing that while running from a DVD).
    The Apple method makes it possible to "gracefully" cancel the installation before the automatic restart occurs without leaving the existing OS on the HD in a corrupted, "half-installed" state unable to restart the Mac. This sometimes happens if the installation process hangs & one has to force-restart the Mac to recover. As long as this occurs during the "pre-install phase" before the restart, the existing OS should remain untouched & intact.
    Also note that the Snow Leopard installer is quite a bit more sophisticated than the previous ones like for Leopard or Tiger. It automatically performs the equivalent of Disk Utility's Verify Disk step before beginning the installation & performs more checks during the installation process (including checking the pre-install data for errors). It is usually not necessary to remove the "Mac OS X Install Data" folder after a failed installation, which may just cause the process to take longer on subsequent attempts, but if nothing else helps it is certainly something worth trying.

  • How to prevent prompt to install CVI Run-Time Engine?

    The LabVIEW laptop for my client got messed up, so I spent several hours making it forget everything it ever knew about NI software.  I started by uninstalling all NI applications, then manually deleted all the folders that the uninstaller leaves behind, then ran a couple of registry cleaners to sweep out as much NI as possible, and finally ran regedit to see what was left.  In the end there were only some legacy drivers that regedit would not let me delete.
    Then I installed 8.6.1 from DVD, carefully selecting only the options we needed; LabVIEW core, cRIO, FPGA, PID, and the minimum set of drivers the installer would let me get away with.  Note that no Labwindows/CVI option boxes were checked.  When the installation was complete, I rebooted the machine and launched LabVIEW, which immediately prompted me to install the LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 (not 8.6.1) Run-Time Engine.  I dutifully fed it my 8.6.1 DVD, which caused LabVIEW to crash.  After 3 reboot/retry cycles with the same result, I decided to appeal to the forum for help.
    What is causing LabVIEW to think I need the CVI Run-Time Engine (and a down-rev version, at that), and how do I convince LabVIEW that I do not?
    Jeff

    Thanks for the reply!  OK, so LabVIEW needs the CVI RTE even though I'm not using any CVI features.  I can live with that.  I downloaded LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine 8.5 from the NI web site and tried to install it.  After I confirmed that I accepted whatever that license agreement says, the installer told me that "No software will be installed or removed."
    Then I opened LabVIEW, and it went through the same "The feature you are trying to use..." popup and tried to install the CVI RTE.  The installation failed as usual, and LabVIEW crashed.
    A few minutes ago I found and ran CVTRTE.msi on the 8.6.1 distribution DVD.  I selected the "repair" option, which completed successfully.  After rebooting, I launched LabVIEW only to be greeted with the now-hated NI LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 Run-Time Engine installer.
    The part of this that is so infuriating is that there appears to be no way for anyone to make a computer forget everything NI so you can start with a clean slate.

  • Error code -3 when trying to install Quicktime 7

    I am trying to install the latest version of quicktime 7, and constantly get an error message, telling me that quicktime hasn't been installed correctly, error code:-3. Now I can't open itunes anymore.
    Please help
    Martin

    hi Rachyl!
    Wait, how did you get iTunes to download without Quicktime? Well, I have seen that happen.
    here's what i think is going on with this one. with a -3 or a -1 the installer bundle (including QT) gets downloaded, but there's an error in the QT part of the install. that occurs after the itunes part of the install has gone through, so you end up with itunes installed but no QT.
    the careful QT standalone install often ends up being "semi-diagnostic". sometimes it's enough to fix the problem on its own. other times, we get an error message indicating what the real underlying problem is with the QT part of the install: 1402, 1606, 1714, 0x80040707 (in these cases usually indicating broken registry installation entries lurking around), or whatnot.

  • Itunes constantly trying to open in logged in users accounts on Vista

    My new computer is constantly trying to open itunes in all logged in users accounts. Once it opens in one of the accounts it will continually make an error noise everytime it tries to open again because it obviously can only open in one account so the other accounts are getting the "unable to load.." message. When the logged in users go back into their account it will have what seems like 50 of the error messages. It is even trying to open in the users account that does not have an itunes account. This is very annoying. Please help! Thanks

    If it is a new computer and you haven't installed anything except firefox, maybe there was something preinstalled on it. IIRC some Roxio software can be configured so that it starts up iTunes at system start for example.
    One way to investigate this is to do a selective start up using MSConfig. Start off with just the essential items and the iTunes related programs as in this article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
    If the problem disappears with the selective startup, start adding stuff back a few items at a time until the problem comes back.
    It's a bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut I am afraid, but it should allow you to identify the problem.
