LabVIEW and Sentinel Protection Installer clashes?

[TheLT]

Greetings everyone,

   I just installed LabVIEW 2012 on a backup XP machine (XP Pro, SP3, 32 bit). No problems except that, on startup of the machine, I receive a spnsrvnt.exe error and that it needs to close, and that process is associated with Sentinel Protection Installer.

   The only thing I could find on the boards about it is here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/error-with-spnsrvnt-exe-at-startup/td-p/386705

    Any ideas on this one?

    Thanks!

This is most likely a port conflict issue.  I think you'll find this useful.  If you're receiving a different error, please include a screenshot.

Thanks Kyle! That did the trick!

Hi,

the link (under "this") is not available any more. Could you explain what to do if I want to install the Sentinel Protection Installer while I have LabView 2018 installed?

Thank you

Hi

Try this :

Also possible to modify Logos Ports:

HKLM\Software\National Instruments\Logos\Ports

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\National Instruments\Logos\Ports

(be aware that 64-bit Windows maintains separate entries for 64-bit and 32-bit processes)

In Ports: 

FirstClientPort REG_DWORD 7000 (dez)

FirstServerPort REG_DWORD 8000 (dez)

This was useful for me because I wanted to install Sentinel Protection Installer and could not because of this problem.

After modifying in registry and restart, it worked!
