When I was trying to interface a USB-6009 on labview 2012 (32bit), when I would go to the measurement and automation explorer, labview would crash and I would get an error, something to do with PXI, unfortunately I cannot remember and do to what I will explain it is not possible to recreate the error.
Instead of immediately posting on here I went ahead and tried to use the NI install/uninstall/repair utility to repair the system, to no avail. Then I decided to uninstall and reinstall everything, and I managed to uninstall everything but the PXI platform framework, (there are two applications related, I cannot see both). I get a "Error 1612 occurred. Would you like to continue this operation?" message, of course I select yes, and of course it doesn't do anything. So now I have a corrupted install, and I don't see any reason to try to reinstall with the corrupted PXI platform still installed, considering that is what was causing the problems in the first place. I have read elsewhere on this forum about a utility called "msiblast" (which sounds like a virus) that forces a clean uninstall, but cannot find any links to the download. I understand there are some risks involved, but at this point I need to get this to work.
On top of all this, I have a project due this Thursday that relies on labview, so I need to get this fixed ASAP. Since I am a student using a student labview license, I cannot contact technical support directly. My only other option at this point that I can think of is to format the primary drive and install everything from scratch.
Also, some info that may be useful. There have been several major changes to my machine since labview and the DAQ were functioning correctly, as follows:
Cloned primary partition from a platter HDD to a new SDD, and labview was installed on the primary partition.
Installed a basic pci-e SATA controller to manage the optical drive (needed due to the HDD array using all the mobo SATA ports).
Did an upgrade install from Windows 7 64bit to Windows 8 64bit.
I can see any and all of these causing the problem somehow, but I believe I was on the correct path to try to do a clean install of labview and all associated software, even though I was unsuccessful.
Thanks in advance!
