I have a bit of a situation on hand and would appreciate any help.
I'm running Labview 2012 and NIMax 5.3.0, and recently both of them have decided not to start anymore. I've almost given up on them, but I'd like to know if there's any way to at least rescue my tasks and calibration data from the wreckage of the broken NIMax installation without being able to export them anymore?
Thank you in advance

Solved! Go to Solution.

Actually yes, if you know exactly where the xml files are saved. Of course, those files may be corrupted causing MAX to have serious problems. (Likely the reason MAX is broken in the first place)
You are going to have a bad day. I'm sorry

Thank you, that's a spark of hope at least. I don't actually believe the nimax itself is corrupted, but probably one of the dependencies on Windows' side. Oh well.
Do you have any clue as to what sort of xml files I might be looking for and where to start?

Yes, I have an idea for some OSs and some versions of MAX. Rather than steering you wrong and making things potentially MUCH worse, I'd suggest that you open a service request with NI.
I have been known to refer to MAX as "XMLHELL"

Okay, that's probably wise. Thank you all the same.

Hello everyone
This page seems to answer this question.
The file path for me (windows 10) was "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Data" where ProgramData is a hidden folder.
Best regards
