Developer Error when Installing Labview 8.5

[A Novice]

Hi there,

When I was installing Labview 8.5 directly from the CD, I had error message 1311. Following the recommendation posted on the discussion forum, I copied the CD to the C drive and installed Labview 8.5 successfully. However, when I tried to follow the same procedure when installing the device driver CDs,i.e. by first installing the CD to a folder in the C drive and installing it by launching setup.exe, I had the following error:

"Developer error. The following errors were found in your ini file: 1 Specified file not found. [MSIEngine] WinNTPath = SupportFiles\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe       Correct the ini file and try again"

When I checked the setup.ini file, under the [MSIEngine] entery, I found the following text:

"[MsiEngine]
WinNTPath=bin\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
RequiredVersion=3.0.0.0
CommandLine=/passive /norestart"

How can I correct the ini file? Should I change the WinNTPath to the one generated by the error message? Will this solve the problem? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards.

Hello,

Yes, I would suggest changing the MSI Engine path in the setup.ini file.  Are you using Windows XP and if so, do you have SP2?  If not, I would suggest installing SP2.

Thanks Clint,

Yes I do have SP2 with Windows XP. I have managed to install Labview 8.5 successfully after deinstalling everything and re-intalling it again. Thanks again.

Cheers!

Dear all,

   When I tried to install Labview 8.0, the following error occured.

"Developer Error. The following errors were found in your file:

1. Specified file not found: [Utilities] UpgradeManagerPostProcessor = Bin\niPie.exe

Correct the ini file and try again."

   Yes. I can't find the niPie.exe file in any of the folder. I suspected there were something wrong with my computer and I tried other computer. Again the same problem happened.

   I really really hope somebody can give me some advices regarding this matter. Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards.

zingkov,

The niPie.exe should be located in the Bin folder in your installer.  I have attached it here in case you cannot locate it.  You will need to move the installer to your hard drive, add this file, then attempt to install.  Let me know if this works.

Best of luck,

Hi Muks

I have attached the niPie.exe from the Vision Development Module 8.5 installation CD. If you can still not install the software try downloading it from the link below. Let me know if this helps.
