Problem with Example Finder Launcher.vi in LabVIEW Community Edition

[RayFarmer]

I am seeing the following when I try to do a Find Example

Is anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, I don't have this issue.  Did you install the beta?  Maybe there are remnants of it left over?

I had a 64bit beta version, which ssaid it was a 64 bit community version. (didn't think there was one)

I have uninstalled all labVIEW 2020 versions both 64bit and 32bit, I have deleted both labview 2020 folders.

I have rebooted, then installed the LabVIEW Community Edition again. but I am still getting the same problem.

I don't know how its saying its got a later version when I have just installed the latest. So there must be some shared product somewhere.

Speaking as one who has been burned more than once with LabVIEW Installs (and have walked several Forum members through the "Repair Process that Illogically Worked for Me"), partial Uninstall/Reinstalls (like removing just LabVIEW 2020 Beta, but leaving other versions of LabVIEW installed, then doing another Install), while logically should work, practically might fail.

What I've gotten to work "almost every time" is to completely remove all National Instruments software (which takes a minimum of three "uninstall" passes using Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and NIPM), optionally remove "NI" Folders (from Program Files, Program Files x86, and Program Data), and optionally remove National Instrument folders from your Profile's App Data.  Then do the Installs slowly and carefully (i.e. not All At Once, though I think NIPM is getting better at this since Version 19.0), and in the order of Most Recent Version First (if doing multiple versions).

I think I've got a post somewhere that lays out all of the steps ...

Bob,

Thanks for your response.

This is more or less what I ended up doing although one of my versions was uninstalled and I didn't even have it selected.

So now its working as it should.
