labview installation initiation problem

[Af_Dk]

Dear All

I had some sudden problems with LabView (Ver: 8.2.1) on windows XP since then I am trying to resolve the issue. After several time of useless unistalling and reinstalling I was told if I remove some of registry entries related to labView the problem might be solved so I removed some of registry entries which had some sort of connection to national instrument package from my computer but I did it very carelessly.

After that, the problem became even worse now when I start the installation process it aborts with this error message "Error: Windows SDK function returned an error  (error code -12) the system can not find the file specified"

Do you have any suggestion to resolve this issue?

looks like your windows got corrupted in your "registry deleting process". Do you remember the registry values you modified/deleted?

Dear Muks

Sorry! not really, I don't remember what I removed and more stupidly I did not make a backup of my registry but I just looked for national instrument entries in registry and deleted  a couple of those. Do you know if I can use any registry cleaning software to remove this problem or based on the error which relates to Windows SDK I can install something to resolve it? Because I installed windows SDK library files and so on but it did not work.
