Having difficulty installing CW++ demo.

When I try to install the CW++ evaluation software on my NT4.0 system it brings up a "severe" warning saying I need Visual Studio service pack 3 or greater. I have installed Visual Studio service pack 5 which is suppose to include all the changes from sp 1,2,3 and 4 and still get the same error. According to Microsoft I cannot "downgrade" to sp3 without re-installing Visual Studio which I do not want to do.

This was a problem with the installer because Microsoft changed the way that it was updating Service Pack information in the registry between service pack 3 and 4. There is a fix for it in our Knowledgebase here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/web/lastweek/862567530005F09F8625690E007AE8D8

The link for that entry (KnowledgeBase 1YTGB8TB) has changed. You should use this link instead: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/862567530005F09F8625690E007AE8D8

Alternatively, you may visit the main NI Technical Support page (http://www.ni.com/support) and do a search for "microsoft visual studio service pack" in our KnowledgeBase (see Option 3 at the bottom of the page).

Best Regards,
