I don't need it myself today, but it's neat nonetheless so I'm glad you posted it. Perhaps one day I'll need it. I wind up needing weird stuff from time to time.

Of course I had to break something (the help links) just before I submitted it.

While I was at it, I reorganized the help a bit.  Also patched up the installer so it gets rid of old leftovers.

Found some bugs in the installer for 3.0.1.

V3.0.2 will be coming.

Here it is with the installer fixed.

I've encountered an intermittent bug (gee, my favorite kind 😜).

When configuring an instance of the "Express Tag Reader.vi", sometimes the sub VI "Wire It Up.vi" fails when executing

When it fails, it doesn't create the indicator, and may or may not throw error 1074 (Cannot create a control/indicator for the specified terminal).

Having the instance VI's block diagram is open, seems to prevent the error.

I really don't understand what's going on here.  Does anyone know of any quirks regarding the "Create Indicator" method?

I couldn't tell exactly for your issue with "Create Indicator", but I have experienced this method failing e.g. with a refnum to an ImageControl, but this is a known bug . Are there some exotic data types for which you create an indicator? Does this happen when you create "lots of" indicators?

Also I think I found a UI bug in both "Configure.vi" of the Express VIs. If you close the window by clicking the cross on the top-right corner, everything gets kind of frozen, because the configure dialog is still running, but hidden. So you have to kill LV to return to a "normal" state. You may either disable closing the window or handle "Panel Close?" and possibly "Discard" in your event structure.
