Do you have any idea about this issue??

Hi,

Which versions of Measurement Studio and Visual Studio are you using?  Also, which OS (both for the development and deployment machines)? 

Sometimes this problem can occur if the NI PSP Service Locator is already running on the machine that you are trying to run the installer on.  Could you check in your Windows Services and see if this is the case?  If so, go ahead and stop the service before running the installer again.

Regards,
