Mindstorm NXT 2.0 on Windows 7, Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property NIMDFMANIF​ESTDIR 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.

  • Fatal Error !! Required NiPathsDir property METAUNINST​ALLERDIR 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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,

  • LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT in Windows Vista

    Anybody knows how install LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with Windows Vista?. Installing it gives me an error that says 'The windows installer is corrupt. To attempt to resolve the issue, please register the engine by running regsvr32.exe on msi.dll'. But it doesn´t work.
    Thanks in advance

    The work around for this issue is to install each of the MSI files setup.exe calls when running the installer.  I was able to reproduce this issue for the 1.0 toolkit I was unable to do so for the 2.0 toolkit.  This being said the instructions bellow are for those of you who are running into this issue with the 2.0 toolkit.
     Listed bellow are the MSIs  you will need to run (shown here at their default location after the self extracting EXE has been run).  You should run these MSI in the following order.
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MetaUninstaller\MU\MetaUninstaller.msi
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\MDFSupport.msi
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\EULADepot.msi
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\LVLEGONXTTK\LVLEGONXTTK\LVLEGONXTTK.msi
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71.msi
    C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\NXT_Driver64\LegoMindstormsNXTdriver64.msi
    A similar procedure can be used to install the 1.0 toolkit if need be.  You can get the install order from the parts from the [Parts] section of the setup.ini.

  • Connecting LEGO mindstorms NXT to my computer

    I am trying to learn Labview using the LEGO mindstorms NXT robot. I installed Labview 2009 and started working, but when I open the NXT terminal in the NXT module it claims that the NXT is not connected although it is (via USB). Any ideas ? Could this have to do with the fact that I am using Windows Vista ?

  • Linux labview eval version for lego mindstorms nxt

    Hi,
    I'm a high school teacher in Tamil Nadu, India. Our school recently purchased 4 lego mindstorm NXT kits. We were happy to find that the new software was powered by labview, because it runs on linux. Our school runs on an Edubuntu LTSP network. So we were sad when we discovered the installation disk only supported MacOS and Windows.
    I looked at the labview site for NXT and saw that we could get a student evaluation copy for use with NXT - so I filled out the forms, but when the link to the FTP site was given, it only provided a Windows and MacOS copy.
    Can we obtain a student copy of labview for Linux for use with our NXT kits?
    Thank you, Jason Stewart.

    Hello Jason,
    I'm sorry I didn't make this more clear in my previous post, but the LabVIEW Student Edition for use with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT is only available for Windows.  This will provide you with the LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition and then you can download the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.  This will give you the ability to create custom NXT blocks in LabVIEW.
    Another option would be to purchase the latest LabVIEW Student Edition and then download the LabVIEW Toolkit for NXT.  However, this edition is also only available for Windows.  The customers that are downloading the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT on a Mac OS have purchased the full version of LabVIEW for Mac.
    Your best option would be to contact the NI India Sales Office at [email protected] or 91 80-4119 0000.  They would be able to help you best with this.
