software corrupt when installing LaView6.1 and IVI

[Benben]

I have two problems.
My computer operating system is Windows2000, Pentium 4.

1. When I installed LabView 6.1, a error message box showed the following information.I chose "Yes" to complete installation. Repeat trials were the same situations. MAX worked well.



2.After installed LabWindows/CVI and LabView 6.1, I installed IVI toolset. After installation, I started MAX, then another error message box appeared. I deleted config.mxs by following its suggestion, but there was no change.


MAX doesn't work! I find that there two version MAX were installed in the computer, v1.1 (from IVI) and v2.2 (from LabView).
I uninstalled the two version IVIs and reinstall v1.1, MAX worked well.

How to solve there
problems? Does a low version MAX bring negative impacts on LabView or LabWindows?
Your early reply is appreciated.

Hi,

The IVI toolkit does install MAX 1.1. I did a test were I installed LabVIEW 6.1 with all the drivers and then installed the IVI toolset. In this case, MAX 2.2 worked and I removed MAX 1.1. So the problem you're experiencing might be a bad installation of MAX 2.2.

if you uninstalled MAX 2.2 and MAX 1.1 is working, you could work with that setup. If not, I would suggest to uninstall all versions of MAX and the drivers (NI-DAQ, NI-488.2, NI-VISA), then run the installers for this drivers. The installers will install MAX.

Hope this helps.
