Hi,
I'm having problems with the Labview installer. In fact, more generally all National Instruments products I've tried have the same problem.
I first noticed a problem trying to install an upgrade to the Lego Mindstorms NXT software (the dynamic block update) the update failed with an "unsupported operation exception". I didn't think much of this, but yesterday I tried to install LabVIEW 8.0 and hit a similar error. The installer initialises correctly and I can go through entering my serial number and selecting components. Pressing "Next", after a short delay, generates an Alert dialog titled "Status" with no content except a button. Clicking this button leaves an empty installer screen with only a Cancel button active. Clicking cancel generates the error message: "The instruction at "0x%08lx" referenced memory at "0x%08lx". The memory could not be "%s"."
I've tried removing all NI my sotware (NI-GPIB, NI-VISA, DAQmx, Measurement Studio, Lego NXT), hoping that that would fix the installer. It didn't and now I can't reinstall any NI software! I've tried NXT, Labview and DAQmx and each installer gives a similar error and exits.
I've tried re-installing the Windows installer FWIW, and also made sure all files from Program Files and Documents and Settings relating to NI have been deleted (as best I can tell). I even went through the registry and deleted all the NI keys I could find. None of it seems to have helped!
Any advice greatfully received. I can live without Lego (for a while :-)) but I'm really stuck without Measurement Studio!
Many thanks,
Jony
p.s. I've ran the LabVIEW installer with logging enabled. I don't see anything obvious in the log, and it's a bit large to attach, but I'd be happy to post it if it could be of use to anybody.
