Win 11, install LabWindows 2017, "This module is blocked from loading into the Local Security Authority".

[AllenInIowa]

To test a "full install" of our application, today I uninstalled our app, and then uninstalled the NI software. I did my test, and then realized I would have to reinstall LabWindows/CVI 2017 😉 D'oh.

I ran the installer and the f1 patch, as I have done many times in recent years, but this time I was greeted with this windows box:

For text search, here is what it says:

Program Compatibility Assistant

This module is blocked from loading into the Local Security Authority.

\Device\HarddiskVolume5\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\mDNSResponder\nimdnsNSP.dll

That link goes to: Device Security in the Windows Security App - Microsoft Support

After finishing the installer and restarting the PC and letting some updates install (the NI License Manager), things "appear" to work -- I can build and run our app.

But I do wonder what caused this box to start appearing. We just did an install back in December on a developer's machine and did not get it.

This seems like the most active post on this issue n a LabVIEW thread: Re: Local Security Authority LabView 2024 Q3, and the short version is that NI is working on it.
