LabVIEW DSC installation problems

[jgarciallamas]

Hello,

I'm trying to install LabVIEW DSC 6.1 but when I launch setup.exe file this message pops up:

"Unable to load ini file. Windows Error 1157"

I have Labview 6.1 installed and my OS is Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.

Any feedback will be wellcome.

Thanks in advance.

Jose.

Hello Jose,

I haven't ran into that issue and I'm not sure about its cause and solution, but here are some ideas on what you could try/check (they are separate ideas, not a sequence of steps):

-Login as administrator to install the software
-Make sure your PC has enough memory and free space on the HD
-Copy the content of the CD to the HD, and run the installer from there
-Modern installers have setup.exe and setup.msi launchers, try to execute the .msi instead of the .exe
-Reinstall LabVIEW 6.1 and then DSC (before that, make a backup of any custom vi's/files that may be overwritten/removed, and then uninstall LabVIEW from Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs ..Agregar y quitar programas))

If none of these helps, let me know.

Regards,

JorgeM.

I'm getting the exact same error, same software version. It would really help if the message said WHICH ini file it is trying to load and WHY it failed. Also what does "Windows Error 1157" mean. Messages like this are worthless and make me think the programmers are not very skilled and therefore the product probably is not much good, certainly not worth spending big bucks on.

I am logged in as administrator, have copied the CD to the local hard disk, and have checked the system requirements. So does anyone have another guess?
