NI VISA shared components wrapper failed to install

[adsasdasd]

Hello.

I am trying to install NI 488.2 from a CD, which also includes NI Visa 16.0 and more on a 64-bit windows system. I alerady had this installed, and I removed it in order to re-install again. I removed it using the program, though after removing I noticed I still had IVI Shared Components on Programs and Features, so I removed it manually.

Now, when attempting to re-install, it gives the error "NI VISA shared components 64.0 failed to install". Of course the VISA doesn't work correctly without it.

I don't know what can I do.

thanks for the help!

Hi,

It sounds like it is still expecting to see the files on the hard drive, but is not finding them. Try following the steps in this article to force reinstall the software, which will cause it to ignore any existing information and write the files again.

Can you repost the document? I have the same installation problem.

Thanks

Hi !

Did you check the compatibility in the readme file ?

Here is also the link for the driver NI-488.2

We can try a force reinstall

Here is a document that talks about it

Also here is  a table about LabVIEW and NI-488.2 Compatibility
