Has anyone encountered a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error in Windows 2000 when upgrading from Labview 6.0i to 6.0.2?

[jching]

When I try to upgrade Labview 6.0i to 6.0.2 by running the setup.exe file I downloaded from the NI site, I immediately get a dialog box with the header "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" and it says "Runtime Error! Program: C:\setup.exe abnormal program termination."

I'm running Windows 2000, but I've successfully installed it on another computer with the same setup. I'm guess some of the DLL files in system32 has been corrupted or mismatched versions. But I don't know which one...

Anyone know what this means?

Hello,

You can probably solve this problem by going to Start >> Run and typing the following:

Regsvr32 \msi.dll

Where is the folder where the msi.dll file resides on your computer (you can use Start >> Find to find the exact location). Once you do this, the installation of the 6.0.2 update should work properly.

Please let me know if you continue to have any problems. Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.
