error 1603 during uninstall

[TroyR]

Hello,

During install of LabVIEW 2013 somehow I corrupted my istallation of the LabVIEW development system. (Might have been becasue I installed 64-bit ahead of 32-bit??) Anyhow, decided to uninstall everything. Unfortunately I cannot uninstall some of the share components there are 11 parts of the uninstall which generate error 1603:

1.NI-SCOPE Run-Time 3.9.4 (64-bit)

2. NI-RFSG Run-Time 1.8.5 (64-bit)

3. NI-HSDIO 64bit Driver 1.8.3

4. NI-FGEN Run-Time 2.9.1 (64-bit)

5. NI-DMM 64bit Driver 3.0.6

6. NI-DIO 64bit Driver 1.8.1

7. NI-DCPower 64bit Driver 1.6.4

8. NI-RFSA 64 it Driver 2.5.5

9. NI-VISA x64 support 5.2.0

10. NI-Switch 64 bit Driver 4.5.5

11. ... on the 11 part the unistall just ends.

Really stuck here - theLabVIEW 2013 installation fails and I cannot finish the uninstall. For info: I did install LabVIEW 2013 on a second computer and everything went fine so its appears to be an unique situation.

Hi Troy,

Have you tried running the full installer again, this time choosing the Repair option?

Hello,

LabVIEW 2013 is not installed so no repair option available. When I try to remove from control panel the uninstaller goes stright to a window which says shared componenets detected, do you want to remove the shared components? no option to do a repair.

Ok. You can try the freeware version of Revo Uninstaller HERE It has worked for me in the past.  Make sure you create a restore point first as the software will remove remnants from the registry. Then when you reinstall, try running the installer as administrator.

This sounds a bit risky so I am going to check with NI support, I'll post the outcome.

Thanks for the help.
