PXI platform uninstall error 1612

When I was trying to interface a USB-6009 on labview 2012 (32bit), when I would go to the measurement and automation explorer, labview would crash and I would get an error, something to do with PXI, unfortunately I cannot remember and do to what I will explain it is not possible to recreate the error.
Instead of immediately posting on here I went ahead and tried to use the NI install/uninstall/repair utility to repair the system, to no avail. Then I decided to uninstall and reinstall everything, and I managed to uninstall everything but the PXI platform framework, (there are two applications related, I cannot see both). I get a "Error 1612 occurred. Would you like to continue this operation?" message, of course I select yes, and of course it doesn't do anything. So now I have a corrupted install, and I don't see any reason to try to reinstall with the corrupted PXI platform still installed, considering that is what was causing the problems in the first place. I have read elsewhere on this forum about a utility called "msiblast" (which sounds like a virus) that forces a clean uninstall, but cannot find any links to the download. I understand there are some risks involved, but at this point I need to get this to work.
On top of all this, I have a project due this Thursday that relies on labview, so I need to get this fixed ASAP. Since I am a student using a student labview license, I cannot contact technical support directly. My only other option at this point that I can think of is to format the primary drive and install everything from scratch.
Also, some info that may be useful. There have been several major changes to my machine since labview and the DAQ were functioning correctly, as follows:
Cloned primary partition from a platter HDD to a new SDD, and labview was installed on the primary partition.
Installed a basic pci-e SATA controller to manage the optical drive (needed due to the HDD array using all the mobo SATA ports).
Did an upgrade install from Windows 7 64bit to Windows 8 64bit.
I can see any and all of these causing the problem somehow, but I believe I was on the correct path to try to do a clean install of labview and all associated software, even though I was unsuccessful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi kelly.o1
I found the error that you are getting in the NI KnowledgeBase, here is the link the information.

I hope that this information might help you.

Error 1612 when uninstalling LabVIEW 2009

Hello,
I'm trying to uninstall LabVIEW 2009 from an Acer tablet running Windows 7. Whenever I attempt to uninstall it though, I receive error 1612. Also, I'm not doing any weird methods of uninstalling; I'm following what the NI website says to do! When looking at previous topics that discussed this issue, none really seemed to come to a clear solution and I'm not sure yet if using a 3rd party program is the way to go. Have any new solutions to this problem appeared? I need to uninstall LabVIEW 2009 so I can install the 2014 version on it. That way I can move a program that I wrote on my personal laptop to my lab's tablet.
Any help is much appreciated!
Amy

You don't need to uninstall 2009 to install 2014. That said, it sounds like something is corrupt. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, you might try installing 2009 from the command prompt using the command: setup.exe /reinstall
That will force the installer to overwrite registry entries and the such. After that's complete, you should be able to uninstall.

Error 1612 when installing Acrobat 9 update

I am running Acrobat 9.0 Pro on a Windows XP SP3 system. According to my control panel, the most recent update that has been installed is 9.3.2.
Every time I boot the system, I get a message saying that an Acrobat update is ready to be installed. When I attempt to install it, I receive an Error 1612 which says that the installation file is not present or not accessible.
I have attempted updating with the original installation disk in the DVD drive. Same result.
I have attempted uninstalling the 9.3.2 update or the basic program from the control panel. Same result. (In other words, I can't uninstall either of them, but get Error 1612 instead.)
I have attempted copying the .MSI file from the insallation disk to my hard drive (both the C:\ root directory and the Acrobat directory in C:\Program. Same result.
Has anyone else found a solution for this problem?

Don't you get a little dialog when update is being installed, where you can point to the original installation package?
If not, use original CD from which you installed your application and run installer - do not try to repair or uninstall using ARP or Help\Repair menu.
It seems like Windows Installer Service lost track of where the original installer file got cached on the system.
One copy is saved (renamed) under Windows\Installer folder.
Another copy is under application installation folder.
They both registered by Windows during initial installation, but occasionaly get corrupted.
Good luck

Adobe Anchor Service CS4 Error 1612. The installation source for this product is not available.

Hi,
I've been trying to install CS4 Design Premium, except that I got this message:
Adobe Anchor Service CS4
Error:
Error 1612. The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
What is wrong and how do I fix it? I've installed this on my sister's laptop as well, but I've already uninstall it. Could this be the reason why?
Help appreciated, thanks!

Contact Adobe Technical Support for CS4 installation issues.
The problem has nothing to do with the fact that you already installed the same software on your "sister's laptop as well." And although you have already uninstalled it (and hopefully deactivated it as well), please remember that this software is licensed for a single user! You and your sister cannot somehow share the license.

Help me!

Hi Lukas,
I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
You wrote:
In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

Error 1612 recieved when updating Acrobat Pro to v9.3.3

I have a system running Vista, with SP2. Right now I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v 9.3.2 according to "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel. The update downloaded through Adobe, but when it tries to install, I get the following message:
"The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. Error: 1612"
I have tried putting the original installation cd into the cd drive in hopes of being able to repair the program, and I get the same message.
I have tried going into "Programs and Features" and uninstalling acrobat pro, and still getting the same message.
Any help in trying to get this update to install would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Try repairing Acrobat and when asked for put the source CD/DVD. Then use 'Check FOr updates' for updating Acrobat. You can repair the applicaiton either from Add remove programs or from within the application-Help->Repair.
Hope this helps.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1612 - Die Installationsquelle ...

Hi,
wollte unter win7/64, CS5.5, Production Suite, Encore aufrufen. Wunderte mich, wieso nicht installiert. Dachte nämlich, ich hätte "damals" alle Komponenten installiert.
Also die Setup-Routine des Images (nicht die Trial-Version -- oder doch eine Trial benutzt? Mist, kann ich grad nicht genau nachvollziehen...) nochmals aufgerufen, um Encore noch zu installieren, bekomme jedoch Fehlermeldung. In Log-File dieser Hinweis:
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1612 - Die Installationsquelle für dieses Produkt ist nicht verfügbar. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Quelle vorhanden ist und Sie Zugriff darauf haben.
Glaube mich nun erinnern zu können, dass dies auch bei der Erstinstallation auftrat, ich mich jedoch nicht mehr drum gekümmert hatte.
Da ich aber alle anderen Komponenten installieren konnte, nur Encore nicht klappt -- Frage: könnte wirklich eine Datei des Images defekt oder fehlend sein?
Oder ich warte einfach ab, bis endlich CS6 im Haus ist und dann die Probleme von vorne beginnen

MIssing media and error 1612

Hiya, I've had my Touch for a month now and it's been working great till recently. I was on vacation, listening to my podcasts and all was fine. I shut the Touch off and put it in my backpack. Later that night I took out my Touch again and all my Music/Video/Photos were gone. If I go into the Settings/General/About it says those 3 items are 'Loading' and never changes (all pics are available for wallpaper change, odd). When you select one of the three icons, Music, Video, Pics you get a blank screen and eventually go back to the Application screen. The Touch acts slugish for a minute or so after that. Reseting did not help.
All my applications are available and work perfectly.
After I got home I connected my Touch to iTunes and it reported that "iTunes cannot read the ipod' and to go to the Summary screen, download and program in the Factory Settings. I did that but it didn't help because iTunes reported an unknown error 1612 in connecting to my Touch.
Luckily it's under warranty but it's a PITA to send back to be fixed due to my APO AE address.
Any suggestions? Cheers!

Ok, I had to 'Erase All Settings' and re-sync. I decided to set it up as a new iPod instead of using a backup. A Backup may have induced the same problem I had to deal with.
This process took two hours on my 16GB Touch.

PXI Platform Services and VISA 3.3.1

I have a customer who is complaining about the two unidentified PCI devices listed in Windows XP Device Manager. I understand this situation is caused by the bridges between the PXI bus segments on the PXI-1045 chassis I have connected. I also understand that installing the PXI Platform Services software will correct this situation.
My concern is that the install of PXI Platform Services also attempts to install a newer version of VISA and NI-MAX. For example, PXI Platform Services V2.1 tries to load VISA 4.0 and NI-MAX 4.1.
Is there a version of PXI Platform Services that is compatible with VISA 3.3.1 and NI-MAX 3.1.1?
I realize that these are old versions, but due to software configuration constraints, I can not update this software without re-certifying 250+ UUT Test Programs, which is time-consuming and expensive.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hey cmelo258,
I have some bad news for you, the oldest version that I could track down was Platform services v2.0.1. It contained no readme, so I tried installing it and it tries to install VISA 3.5.1 and MAX 4.0.3. Hopefully, someone else has better news for you.

Error: -1612 The installation source for this product is not available. Ver

Hi,
I am trying installing the FA in SAPB12005A SP01 PL36. and I received this error message:
Error: -1612 The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
How can I resolved this?
Regards,
IAN

I am getting the exact same error. How come anyone else did not get it?
The procedure I followed was :
Downloaded and installed the "download manager" first.
Then selected all product updates from BOXI3.1 Enterprise
It downloaded 58 items. After an inquiry I came to know that you need to install only the latest patch, i.e. Patch 1.7 will include all previous patches. So I was running 1.7 and getting this error constantly, and unable to install it at all.
I tried downloading it from different places and networks, same error persists.
