imaq 5.0 installation nivissvc.dll

[andrewtea]

Im trying to install labview version 6i with imaq version 5.0 on a pc running win2k. Labview seems to run fine without installing imaq. Once I install imaq and try to use (for example) the IMAQ ReadFile vi I get the following error:
"The procedure entry point EnterModalDialog could not be located in the dynamic link library NIVisSvc.dll"
I have tried wiping the system of any national instruments software (including the registry) and reinstalling only to get the same result.

Cleaning the system would have been my first suggestion. LabVIEW 6i and IMAQ Vision 5.0 should be able to be used together. I would recommend trying it on another machine that hasn't had LabVIEW or Vision installed on it before because sometimes junk can be left behind if the uninstaller has problems and it is hard to find all of the registry keys hiding in there. I assume that it is something specific to that machine and that reinstalling the OS would probably resolve the issue, but I know how unappealing reinstalling the OS is so I would try another computer first.
