Can you please share or paste the NiVlm logs from the recent crash? Try removing the System.Data.SQLite DLL completely, including its folder. You can uninstall the dll from GAC using the following command: gacutil -u System.Data.SQLite

I removed the entire fodler and tried to run the command that you gave me this is what I got:

VLM Still crashed.

I tired using the run command this this as well and I get this:

Did you want me to delete this whole structure or just the file that had the dll?

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\System.Data.SQLite

• Try moving the 'System.Data.SQLite' folder completely to a temporary location, as you may need it in the future.
• Also, try deleting the following file: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Volume License Manager\nivlm.sqlite.dat.
• Additionally, perform a repair using NI Package Manager for NI Volume License Manager and restart the system. This step will reinstall any missing DLLs.

If you have visual studio, then gacutil commands can be run by opening Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt or Visual Studio Developer PowerShell.

I sent you a link to the other files that were too big.

I am repairing VLM right now. I do not have Visual Studio installed on this system.
