It is impossible to reinstall labview, when I swiched from win98 to XP

[nanotube]

I had labview 6i on my system, before I changed my OS from Win98 to WinXP (it was an upgrade of labview 3). I tried to reinstall first labview 3 on my computer and then 6i, but I have always the same error message from windows installer, that I really don't understand (see the attached file, in french). My version of WinXP and labview 3 and 6i are in french. Thank you.

Try installing in a new directory, or perhaps even a separate partition.

I don't speak French, but this FAQ from Alex LeDain may help: (http://www.icon-tech.com.au/faq_miscellaneous.html#TransformsError)

I'd try this before reinstalling

If I uninstall LabVIEW I get an "Error Applying Transforms". What the ...?

(Feb 2003)

When LabVIEW 6.0i was released there were several issues with the installers for LabVIEW and its drivers. This was such a nightmare that several of the team working on this wore t-shirts with "we know the installers don't work ..." at NI Week 2002.

The solution:
1. Execute regedit or regedit32 depending on your platform (ie Start/Run, type regedit32, OK).
2. Do a search and find the following section in the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>>INSTALLER>>PRODUCTS w
ith the value of 20F22BE295933D11082B000540F95DD5
3. Delete the TRANSFORMS field.
4. Exit regedit.
5. Try the uninstall again.
6. Ignore the laughter of the MAC only LabVIEW users.
