LabView 8.5.1 crashes at splash screen "appentrypoint.cpp, line 74 error"

[jmw50290]

Been using it for a while.  Updated to lv2011 but need to be able to still use 8.5.1.  After upgrading found out the earlier version is not compatible with the fieldpoint 6.0.10 drivers that updated my 6.0.1 version.  So, I uninstalled the 2011 LV and 6.0.10 fieldpoint drivers.  I reinstalled the fp 6.0.1 drives from an original CD.  When I ran LV8.5.1 the above error occurs during the splash screen and LV ends.  I uninstalled 8.5.1 and did a new installation from the original CD and I still get the same error.  Would really like to get LV8.5.1 working again with fieldpoint.  Thanks.

Hi jmw50290,

I see that you've tried uninstalling and reinstalling LabVIEW 8.5.1, but have you tried doing a repair installation?

Here are the steps to do so:

Repair does things that regular uninstall/reinstall do not do, so it's worth a shot.

Thanks, before reading your reply, I uninstalled everything that I could associated with LV including all versions.  Reinstalled 8.5 and it's working okay but NI is making me paranoid
