Hi St. Pete,
 
The following KnowledgeBase article addresses this issue:  Error 1311 While Installing Measurement Studio
 
I would also verify that the file is located on the CD.

Hello David,

 

I am also experiencing an Error 1311, but during the install of LabVIEW 2012 and 2013 (64-Bit).  

 

Win7 x64, Acer laptop.  

 

First problem I encounter is: 

 

After putting in my info and agreeing to the licence agreements, the first error pops up says the followign:

NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2011 SP1: 

 

Error 1310.  Error writing to file: C:Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\Plugins\LV2011ActiveXcontrol.dll.  Verify that you have access to that directory.  

 

Options: Abort/Retry/Ignore

 

Things I've tried:

Retry button--never get's past the error.  

Uninstalling Internet Explorer and restarting--Still assumes that it's there, and error remains.  

Reinstalling updated Internet Explorer and restarting -- no change.  

Checking the directory file and verifying that permissions for every user and System is set to full control -- No change.  

 

The only way to get past this error seems to be to press the Ignore button.  

 

 

A few moments after ignoring the first error, another error pops up.  It says: 

NI Labview Run-Time Engine 2011 SP1: 

 

Error 1311.  Source file not found: C:\Users\[my U/N]\Desktop\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW 64-bit\2013\Products\LabVIEWruntime_mft.cab.    Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.  

 

Options: Retry/Cancel

 

Things I've tried: 

Verifying that the file exists (it does) and that I have access to it (I do) and checking the permissions to verify full control --no changes.  

Retry -- does nothing.  

Cacel --aborts the installation and indicates instal failure.  

 

 

Can you help me with this?  I've installed LV on two other computers and they worked fine, but my laptop simply doesn't want to take the install.  

 

Thank you in advance, 

Thomas

Hi tdelmo,

 

One thing to try is right-clicking the installer/executable and choose Run as Administrator. Even if you have administrator priveledges, many programs don't run as administrator by default.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I tried that too.  

 

I also booted from the Super Admin account and tried that way as well to no avail... 

 

Thanks anyway.
