Error code -40 while creating distribution - .NET framework 2.0

[LuigiM]

Dear Manooch,

I encounter the same error on .NET framwork (error -40) during deploy.

I tryed before clearing ProductCache also for MDF but the problem persists.

I tryed after, as you suggested, repairing DAQmx but the error still persists.

Do you have some other suggestions to provide us?

Thanks in advance

I tried to repair DAQmx and the problems still exist as well.

I simply tryed to remove the following Manifest file:

  NI .NET Framework 2.0 Language Pack x86 Installer {F8ECD2D6-659C-49EB-8454-5F8F7B526FCF}

from

  C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\MDF\Manifests

After I try to repair the MAX installation but the Manifest wasn't reinstalled.

In any case no more error (-40) is displayed when I try to deploy and it is completed sucessfuly.

I dont think thi is the solution bu in any case the installer (as a result of deploy) seems to works fine, so...

If you have a more correct solution please tell us.

Sincerely

[Manooch_H]

Ching -

Please try the same steps that Luigi performed and see if it resolves the -40 error.

Please let me know.

I have spent over a week trying to fix this problem.

I have rebuilt NI programs several times.

I have deleted all NI programs and reinstalled separately each of the three versions of diskS I have.

I have deleted all NI programs and NI entries in the registry and reinstalled the August 2010 disk set.

I have reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Developer Suite 2009 Fourth Quarter 2009.

None of these unbelievably time consuming processes, have solved this error!

Well, deleting the file does resolve the error but what does the file really do?  anything?

The other errors are due to me installing older version of LabVIEW after newer version have been installed.  LV 8.2.1 RTE would never show up in the TestStand deployment until I uninstalled and reinstalled.  Now there are other errors involving MAX 4.7 which I cannot really uninstall unless I wanted to uninstall every version of LV as well.  However, I think that's my only hope to getting rid of these errors ... sigh

Hi mheyman,

Please try the solution that LuigiM has posted.  It seems to have worked for most in the past:

"I simply tryed to remove the following Manifest file: NI .NET Framework 2.0 Language Pack x86 Installer {F8ECD2D6-659C-49EB-8454-5F8F7B526FCF} from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\MDF\Manifests"

You can move the manifest file to a new location, outside of the Manifests directory, instead of deleting it if you feel more comfortable doing that as well.

Thanks

Deleting NI .NET Framework 2.0 Language Pack x86 Installer {F8ECD2D6-659C-49EB-8454-5F8F7B526FCF} did resolves the -40 error. At NI suggetion I had previously deleted it and rebuilt which replaced it. That did not work.
