Error message NIPathDir property while installation

[Altaf]

Hi,

we are facing an error while installation of Lab VIEW 8.2.1 on windows vista. Each time an Fatal Error message appears ;

"fatal error   NIPathDir property....is undefined"

Please tell me the solution for this error.

Thanks

Hi Lars,

Thanks a lot

I made all these cahnges in Vista's documents setting but problem still persists. One thing is that in Vista, there is teh foldername "Documents" not "My Documents"..!! But I also tried both name in I created the folder name C:\Users\My Documents

Even then it doesnt work.

Thank u once again.

Hi Altaf,

Something that would also be helpful would be to run the installer with the logging option, and post the resultant log file.  You can generate a log like this:  setup.exe /log logfile.txt

Thanks,
