Unable to Uninstall LabVIEW 6.0

[AmateurDev]

I had LabVIEW 5.1 installed on my Windows 95 laptop. I upgraded with LabVIEW 6.0 but I was unable to un-install LabVIEW 6.0. It generates a message "Error 1322: A portion of the folder path" exceeds the length allow by the system.
Please help.

Hi - I've also had this problem - if you look at the developer exchange on
the NI website and search for 'install windows labview' you'll find the
answer (sorry can't remember the URL).

It seems to be a known problem - the fix consists of editing a registry
item. Unfortunately you may come across a further problem after this for
which the fix is a little more complicated -involving applying a patch.

Again sorry for not having the URL to hand.

Thank you so much for your help.

What did you do?

I get the same error when I have uninstalled the evaluation version of
LV6.0 and installing LV6.0 pro. The specificly happens when installing
the NIDAQ drivers.

Thank you

I download two files killlv.bat and msizap from NI Developer Exchange. First, I renamed msizap to msizap.exe. Second, I modified the killlv.bat to direct the call to correct path of msizap.exe, then
I ran the killlv.bat and it updated to the Windows (95) registry.

tim.streeter@tait.co.nz

Tim

Sorry! I don't have the URL.
Just search for killlv.bat in the Discussion Forums on NI Developer Zone.

Here are the files that I was sent.
I modified Killlv.bat so that msizap.exe only have to be in the same
directory to run.

What I found is that it deletes all references to LV in the windows
registery, so you can delete the LV folders and files directly, or
install LV directly over the top. with out it detecting that a version
is installed.

Note: I think msizap.exe does not work for NT, W2000 systems, there is
another version for that. Not that I have had any difficulty with W2000.
