Labview installation initiation problem

Dear All
I had some sudden problems with LabView (Ver: 8.2.1) on windows XP since then I am trying to resolve the issue. After several time of useless unistalling and reinstalling I was told if I remove some of registry entries related to labView the problem might be solved so I removed some of registry entries which had some sort of connection to national instrument package from my computer but I did it very carelessly.
After that, the problem became even worse now when I start the installation process it aborts with this error message "Error: Windows SDK function returned an error  (error code -12) the system can not find the file specified"
Do you have any suggestion to resolve this issue?

Dear Muks
Sorry! not really, I don't remember what I removed and more stupidly I did not make a backup of my registry but I just looked for national instrument entries in registry and deleted  a couple of those. Do you know if I can use any registry cleaning software to remove this problem or based on the error which relates to Windows SDK I can install something to resolve it? Because I installed windows SDK library files and so on but it did not work.
regards
Afshin

  • Launching unrelated app, launches LabVIEW installer.

    I'm having a the same problem that this guy is having. The application we're trying to launch is ietm52.exe  the LabVIEW installer starts and attempts to install 7.0 files when the installation is 7.1.1.
    What is causing an entirely different unrelated program to launch LabVIEW's installer? How do we make that stop? is there a patch or something?
    [quote]Okay, so I'm a desktop tech, know little about LabView, but can at least install it.  We also use pdfcreator on our desktops.  For some reason, however, whenever pdfcreator is used (for ANYTHING, not just LabView stuff), a windows installer fire
    s up, "please wait while windows configures NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0."  The installer proceeds, then gets stuck while trying to find the msi.  Well I don't HAVE the proper MSI apparently, because my version is 7.1.1!  When I put in th
    e 7.1.1 Run-Time CD (the only one I have) and point it to the msi it seems to be looking for, it still fails (apparently due to different versions).
    So first, why is pdfcreator invoking this installer in the first place (they seem to have nothing to do with each other!)
    Second, why is the installer looking for the Run-Time for 7.0, instead of 7.1.1?[/quote]

    We did some research on this issue and found that VB6.0 common dialog box is what is causing LabVIEW to launch it's installer.
    If a blank form was created with a common dialog box on it and run on the effected box, LabVIEW would would immediately launch it's runtime engine installer. The application we were trying to launch utilizes the common dialog box several times (as do many programs).
    We then replaced version 7.1.1 with version 8 (which shows itself as version 7.0 in it's installer) and it resolved the issue.
    I hope this is helpful to others who may have the same problem.

  • Labview 2010 reinstallation problem

    Hi, all. I am new at here.
    I hope you all can help me regard to some problem of installing labview. I attached some screen shot during the error occurred. The main issue is I using the same labview installer to install the labview to my personal laptop and it's work but when I install to my company CPU, it did give me much error. Besides,  I had turn off all the window fire wall, but it's still cant work.
    More on my situation:
    I doing this reinstallation to my company CPU is because the previous labview program installed had corrupted. Therefore,  I already fully uninstalled all the labview program and reinstall it currently. However, I am facing the errors shown in the pictures.If I am not mistaken, the previous labview version that installed  is same as the version that I install to the CPU now.
    Solved!

    You don't necessarily need to reformat your hard drive, but you can if you wanted to reinstall Windows fresh. Otherwise, if you have Windows backups, you can restore back to a known good version. You can check how many version of LabVIEW are installed on your PC by going into the Programs -> National Instruments folder and view the different LabVIEW versions installed. I don't like to go back in versions of LabVIEW as I always had problems with drivers and hardware compatibility. If you ever want to revert to an old version, I would recommend to install on a fresh Windows.

  • LabVIEW Installer is not writing to the registry

    I have a LabVIEW installer with the following Registry page in it and it does not write the values I have requested to the registry on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Any clues that anyone can give me to assist.
    Note:  The [INSTALLDIR] variable is a valid command.

    Hi Cbauer,
    You didn't mention which bitness of LabVIEW 2009 you were using, but I'd guess 32-bit?  If so, just a sanity check that you are looking at the 32-bit registry location on Server 2008 R2? 
    Assuming you're using 32-bit LabVIEW, then it is going to create a 32-bit installer. The 32-bit installer can only write to the 32-bit registry. So though you are writing to HKLM\Software\Summitek (which is a 64-bit registry location), Windows redirects the key creation to HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Summitek (which is the 32-bit location). Look at that location to see if your key is there.
    This isn't actually a problem, as if your 32-bit LabVIEW application tries to open HKLM\Software\Summitek - it too will be automatically redirected to the "Wow6432Node" location. So in short, because of Window's automatic redirection, it's something you don't usually need to worry about.

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • How can I create more than one program shortcuts in LabView Installer?

    I have builded 3 executable files in LabView Application Builder. I want to create an installer (using the same application builder) that can copy the 3 files to the same destiny directory, install the Runtime Engine and create (in the same program group) 3 shortcuts for the executables. Is it possible with LabView Installer?

    The Application Builder does not offer this option. It is really intended as a basic installer builder. However, you can use other software packages to enhance your isntaller. There are many third party installer builders that you can use to modify the msi file which the application builder create for you. You might want to check one of those out and use it for your application.

  • My macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop or bridge to initialize. a window appears that says it has  initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.

    my macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop cs5 or bridge cs5 to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.
    there appear two error messages. the first one says that there has been a problem sincronizing because of a programme error. the second one appears after you clicked ok on the first window and says that photoshop couldn't be initialized because the icc profile is invalid.
    does anyone know if i have to delete any system or photoshop preference? the illustrator is also having troubles. thanks

    thanks! what finnally worked better was renaming the «settings» folder in te «color folder» in the library with ~before the name. now indesign is asking me for thw icc profiles but still works, so i asume i can reinstall color settings only for indesign and go on.

     Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
     Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.

  • BT Toolbar installer - ongoing problem - STILL ONG...

    I have not had a reply to my last post in the thread:
    http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/BT-Toolbar-installer-ongoing-problem/td-p/39872
    As the problem has returned with the newest version of the toolbar, I thought I would start a new thread using my last post to the above thread .
    In fairness I thought the problem had been sorted as a patch was issued for V:8.1.0.51, Build: 2009.9.20.2, so maybe the thread was no longer watched.
    To my amazement, this patch has not been incorporated in the latest version. Quite frankly I'm gobsmacked at the incompetence. Anyway, here it is:
    Have just installed the latest version of the BT Toolbar:
    V:8.3.3.42
    Build: 2010.11.15.1
    Although I had ticked "Automatically download and install toolbar updates" in my old version, I only found out about the new version by reading a post in "Answers". The links below refer to older "7" versions but following the links I came accross "download latest version" and discovered V:8.3.3.42. So it appears that the auto-update facility doesn't work either!
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/dd948e16-b74d-4e9c-a0fc-268...
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/basics/toolbarms-01.html
    Guess what? After a shut down and reboot, I had to sign in with my Windows Live ID - AGAIN!
    It would appear that the patch released to cure this problem in the old version has not been incorporated in the new version.
    Stroll on. I find it hard to believe that the newest version has been released with the same error!!!!!! 
    I have had to hack the registry to correct this - AGAIN
    Below is the post that explained the original problem. Although the numbers of the HKEY_USERS are slightly different now (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-73586283-879983540-1606980848-1011), the problem remains the same. The toolbar installer changes AppData to =%AppData% instead of =%USERPROFILE%\Application Data.
    And I quote: 
    "When Yahoo toolbar gets installed it sets the following registry value:
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-796845957-926492609-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders]
    AppData = %AppData%
    The problem here is AppData should actually be the following
    AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
    So when MSN or other apps that use that registry key go to save their data it gets lost.
    So the solution is simple, run regedit and go to
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-796845957-926492609-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders]
    and set the value AppData to a data value of %USERPROFILE%\Application Data"

    Hi,
    just tried to update the Flash Player to the newest version. However, the installers provided at this site (http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer) seem to work improperly. On my 64-bit Win 7 Pro system all works fine, but on my laptop (32-bit Win 7 Pro) it keeps saying "Installation encountered problems. An error occured. Close this window and start download again." This happens with both the Firefox and IE installer.
    I managed to update FP with the offline installers, but I'm interested in the reason anyway. Is it a broken installer, is it a configuration problem of my laptop, or is it another problem? Would be very happy if anyone knows about this issue!
    Thanks

    Usually, it's a firewall problem with the "downloader/installer". I always use the offline installers to avoid any bundled software.

    I am building a labview applaiction that is part of an entire tool suite which has a master installer.  The master installer installs all the programs one at a time from a main interface that takes things like target directory inputs and passes tehm down to the individual tool installers. 
    Is there a way to pass dir information to a labview installer setup.exe file when called from another top level installer?
