BUG: LV install destroys existing RabbitMQ-installation

[Yamaeda]

So, i have an existing RabbitMQ-installation that i use in a project.

I installed LV and the RabbitMQ-service didn't start and i could no longer access the web-UI.

Trying to get it to work again i've noticed the environment variable RABBITMQ_BASE is changed to "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Skyline\RabbitMQ"

Resetting that the service starts again, but the management UI is still broken.

This was in LV2020 beta but i suspect it affects more versions.

Seems like a similar issue here. Does the proposed solution help?

[Yamaeda]

Well, this is rather the other way around. The LV installation looked like it worked fine, but my previous (existing) RabbitMQ stopped working. Removing RabbitMQ also removes Web service, but i'll see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the link @thols, by uninstalling the RabbitMQ-component in LV i could reinstall my old one and get the other project running. I don't quite know how this will affect LV, but currently that's not a big issue. LV doesn't play nice in this case. 🙂

Unfortunately, you cannot have multiple version of RabbitMQ on the same system.  FlexLogger, LabVIEW, NXG, SystemLink and many other NI applications moving forward will leverage it for interprocess communication between our applications and services, so you will probably need to host your other application on a different system or modify your existing usage of it to leverage the RabbitMQ configuration NI is using.

Or can you instead use the RabbitMQ installed with NI products, Yamaeda?
