Hello,
The add/remove program folder does not contain an entry for NI-Switch. I tried installing 1.1 and thats when I got the error about not being able to install. I did not want to upgrade because installing a higher version also updates other components. Since the machine has been working for years I did not want to possibly add to the problem by upgrading and have something else change. And as usual the software is so old nobody knows where the original install software is anymore.

Hello John,
The original problem on the 5.1 machine was the program was looking for 14 vdc signal that was connected to a scxi-1127 board. Going through the program we noticed that the 1127 boards were not initializing. So we just moved the hardware, scxi chassis and a pci-4060 card, to a different machine with 7.1 and wrote a new vi to initialize the 1127 boards and everything seemed ok. Since everything initialized properly on the 7.1 machine it was not a hardware issue so I started looking into drivers. That is when I ran into the problem with NI-Switch software not uninstalling. I did find all the driver software I needed on the NI site, so that was not a problem. I just did not have a copy of 5.1 if I wanted to do a complete reinstall.
As far as I could tell everything was working ok with the original program, so I sent the machine back. I should hear in a day or so if everybody is happy or not.
