lvmt.msi Missing

[ee_hokie]

Recently my company pushed a substantial system update to my computer. After restarting now I'm prompted by a Windows Installer window to locate lvmt.msi. This same prompt also comes up when starting LabVIEW. I'm able to press cancel several times and the prompt goes away and everything seems to function as normal. However it comes back every time I start my machine or start LabVIEW. I've searched my hard drive and the file can't be located. I've also tracked it down to an install of LabVIEW Run-Time 6.0. The problem is I can't uninstall it or repair the install without this file. Is there a way to download this file from NI? Can I manually remove Run-Time 6.0? Or am I barking up the wrong tree all together?

Hi, have you try use "NI Package manager" to repair or uninstall it? 

If you face difficultiies during troubleshooting, we can discuss at here for next step.

That was one of the first places I checked, unfortunately it doesn't show up in Package Manager.

So means you have tried use NI package manager to uninstall Labview but failed?

Seems like the only way is to unistall labview then reinstall again

LabVIEW 6.0 runtime in NI Package Manager? I do not think so that NI Package Manager will ever have any idea about LabVIEW versions prior to something like 2016.

I ran a repair on LabVIEW 2019 (my most current version) and I'm still encountering the issue. I was able to disable all NI software on startup to avoid seeing the message when my computer boots up. However, I still receive the error when I startup LabVIEW. Is there a way to isolate what exactly is trying to access the ancient RT version to be able to remover or repair it?

I think what you are seeing is Window's MSI "self-repair" behavior, that something is triggering the repair of MSI that Windows sees as broken. Try looking in the Windows event viewer, and it might give you a clue on what is triggering the repair.

I checked with Event Viewer and it only gives me a generic error that something crashed. I've tried repairing several addons but still no luck on clearing up the error.
