Runtime Engine installer spawns from unrelated software

[Mr._Jim]

Hello all,

When I run a completely unrelated app (Quickbooks timer, in case you're wondering), Windows Installer launches and attempts to install LabVIEW 7.1 runtime engine. Has anyone else encountered this, and why would it occur? Is there an easy solution besides installing the runtime engine?

Thanks

Hello

This happens with me aswell.

With an application i use to monitor my bandwidth usage.

Its also starting happening when i launch labview.

Its really weird.

Hello CT_JIM,

We are probably seeing this behavior because your application (Quickbooks Timer) is querying Windows to confirm that all MSI installers are installed properly. In this case some part of the LabVIEW RTE must not have been installed completely and Windows is trying to correct it.

This can typically be resolved by reinstalling or repairing the RTE to fix the install.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Thanks, Matt -- I'll try that. I guess that confirms my suspicion that I should reinstall Runtime =c)
