IVI error will not run PXI cards calibration

[BruceMeloun]

I had an NI automatic update done a week or so ago and it wiped out my ability to run NIMAX, Calibration Executive, and see any of my PXI card plugins. I am using a PXI-1033 mainframe and calibrating multipe PXI cards. I was able to fix NIMAX and I can now see my mainframe and cards in the mainframe, but I cannot communicate with the cards. When I start my computer I get a "found new hardware wizard" looking for a PCI Device but have no luck when I downloaded all the drivers once again. In MAX the card is there but says "windows does not have a driver associated with my device" even after installing it three times. When I tried running Calibration Executitve I get the error message "ProcessModel\QueryDriverVersions\specificDrivers\cex_Read_NI_SCOPEVersion.viat step QueryDriver Versions LabView: The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its VIs cannot be located. OPen the VI in labview using flie>>Open and verify it is runable."

Hello Bruce,

Do you know what update it was, for which software?

Please post back with a screenshot of how the cards show up in both NI MAX and the Windows Device Manager; this helpful for me to understand what is going on.

Also, what cards do you have, and does this happen to all of your cards, or just some?

Here is the report for what I am seeing when I first start up MAX. The error code said “NI Service Locator is not running”, See attachment.

I use this NI Software to calibrate PXI cards listed below using a NI PXI-1033 mainframe. PXI cards are:

PXI-4070

PXI-4461

PXI-5441

PXI-5600

PXI-5610

PXI-5620

When I run Calibration Executive to calibrate a PXI-5600, I see the error code “Error-603 occurred at Open RegistryKey.vi at step Query Driver Versions.

Possible reasons: LabVIEW: Specified key or value does not exist.
