how to remove old NI Imaq if it is not in add remove programs

[rscconrad]

I am upgrading from 6i to 8.o fo rlabview and vision development module.

I need to remove my old IMQ before the new one will install.  It is not listed in my add/remove programs.  How do I remove it?

Here is a link to a vi that will read the add/remove programs list from the registry. It also lists the uninstall file. Maybe this will give you a clue if IMAQ is still hanging around.

Hi rscconrad,

IMAQ 2.5.1 was a subcomponent of the LabVIEW installation and will reinstalling LabVIEW to remove the component. 

1. Uninstall LabVIEW 6.x using Add/Remove Programs. This will remove the previous version of IMAQ.
2. Install LabVIEW 6.x (or if possible, just install LabVIEW 8.0).  You will need to customize the 6.x installation so that IMAQ 2.5.x is not installed.
3. Proceed with your upgrade.

I hope this works for you.

Regards,

RyanF
