Launching Labview as Power User starts installer

I installed Labview 6.1 as admin on a Windows XP SP1 machine. I gave 'everyone' full control to C:\Program Files\National Instruments.
Labview launches fine when I log in as an admin.
When Labview is started when logged in with a Power User account, it launches Windows Installer and starts to give error messages it can not find the required package.
When I make sure the LV CD is in the PC at that time, Labview does not give these errors, but starts to install something (doesn't say what). However, each time LV is launched: same installer messages.

How do I get rid of these messages? It speaks for itself I can not leave the CD in the CD drive.

Thanks,
David.

Could you be more specific abou the messages that are given. do they address a service or engine that is not started?

Bjorn,
I attached a screenshot of the error I get when I launch LV and the LV CD is not in the CD drive. Labview is looking for LVCore.msi, although LV is installed on hard disk and running perfectly when I log in as an admin.

Thanks,
David.

Hello,

I have the same problem with LabView 7.1 under Windows 2000!!!! I installed LabView 7.1 with admin-rights and every time a power user starts LabView, it trys to install something and says "Please reboot ....." After the reboot nothing has changed. The power user has to click "no" about 10 times to prevent LabView from rebooting. After that it runs fine.
Another problem occurs when the power user trys to restart or shut down the system. This takes about 3 minutes! I figured out that there is a LabView-task appearing and disappearing every 10 sec. in the task-manager during this ~3 minute period preventing the computer from shutting down (sounds strange?! - yes it is). I tried the previous hints about reconfiguring the windows-installer settings but nothing has changed!
Anyone has an idea???
Thanks

Holger
