'Error 1605 occurred while installing NI-PAL 1.6.1f0 engine' installing NI-VXI.

[AIM-USA]

When installing NI-VXI software I get the error 'Error 1605 occurred while installing NI-PAL 1.6.1f0 engine'.  I uninstalled everything and then copied the installation files to my hard drive but the error still occurs.  This seems to prevent Windows from installing the driver for my MXI card.  Any ideas of what is going wrong?

Hey AIM-USA,

Something you may test to see is if the VXI driver may be corrupt, what you could do to test it is download NI-VXI version 3.3.1. This should check if it's the driver, or the system. Something you may also try, is to download another driver that will install NI-PAL. I think the VISA driver may install it. It's a relatively small driver, and you may give this a try to see if it can setup Measurement and Automation Explorer for you. This is where you can find the latest NI-VISA driver.

Can you let me know if these help?

Regards,

Nick,

Using the NI-VISA download seemed to work.  Thanks for the advice.
