Hi Amitai,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.
Thanks also for the brilliant document - very detailed!
The error does seem pretty serious - but all the processes seem to have correctly started.
I would maybe suggest repairing the NI Shared Variable Engine, this can be done from the control panel.
Do you have another version of LabVIEW to try?
I will look into this more tomorrow.
Kind Regards,
James.

Hi Amitai,
Good afternoon and I hope your well.
A member of the team from NI Israel contacted me regarding this post.
I want to provide you with extra details on how to resolve your issue - i.e. Repair (Or Re-install) the Shared Variable Engine.
If you use the MsiBlast Tool it will populate a list of all MSI NI Installers. One of these will be NI Variable Engine. On the right-hand side you can the click 'Repair'. I would also Repair the engine support for the versions of LabVIEW you have installed. Please see attachments for MsiBlast and a screenshoot of the MSIBlast screen.
If this doesn't work I would recommend re-installing LabVIEW using the following guide, which I posted on this forum. (second post by me).
Please let me know how you get on,
Kind Regards,
James.

Hi Hillman,
Thank you for your reply (or should I say replies...) ,
I forgot to mention that I use LabVIEW 8.2.1 DSC,
and I don't have any other versions.
Also, I need to use the Project from the specific computer since other essential softwares and servers are installed in there (like OPC).
Your message regarding the MsiBlast Tool looks interesting,
I will try it right away and inform you.
(I understand that our time zone is not so different as opposed to what I am used to )
Thanks again,
Amitai.

Hi Amitai,
Thanks for the reply.
It is nearly 1pm here in the UK - so I will be around for another 5 hours or so. If you could update me in that time I will be able to continue your support. However, I am under the beleive that repairing, or re-installing should resolve this issue. To confirm it works, please use one of the NI Examples.
Hope this helps,

Hi James,
Thank you again,
I have tried the Repair, It didn't help.
So I will try the Re-installing next.
What I did get, is some humor? (see file attached).
I will inform you how it goes next.
Sincerely yours,
Amitai.

Hi James,
My supervisors here adviced me to not Re-install all NI related software in the specific computer, (as written in step 2 of your post)
until I consider all the implications it might have.
This computer has many NI related software and servers installed, (and a part of the Ehternet network here)
So I will need to wait until Sunday to do it.
I guess you are not around at Sunday (due to Christianity reasons)
So I hope it will work and then I could Kudos you to everyone I know
Sincerely yours,
Amitai

Hi Amitai,
Thanks for the update - I am afraid its the weekend, but I will be back in on Monday 9am sharp!
Honestly, there is something very corrupt with the machine.. and to proof it I bet you could get this to work on another machine - have you tried, to confirm nothing silly is happening.
That was a rather funny error you got. So did you not repair and rebot the normal NI Variable Engine referance? This is sometimes just as good as an re-install. I would maybe try this. The support reference was just a guess, we don't normally update this.
Kind Regards,
James.
