Error 1334 (in LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1 setup) when launching VB6's IDE

[citizenDAK]

What's going on here?  I have LabVIEW 7.0 and Visual Basic 6 installed on this Win-XP computer.  When I open VB6, I always get what looks like a Windows Installer error:

First, it asked me for the location of "lvruntimeeng.msi", which I located for it.  The next progress-window says:

----------------------------------------------

NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11

----------------------------------------------

Please wait while Windows configures NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11

----------------------------------------------

Finally it fails with this error-message window:

----------------------------------------------

NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11

----------------------------------------------

Error 1334.  The file 'NIMDFManifestFileId.53736431_DBEC_4582_B072_2F1F0A2C4EA6' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'lbruntimeeng_mft'.  This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

[OK]

----------------------------------------------

The two windows repeat twice each time I launch VB6's IDE, and that causes a long delay.  What can I do to prevent this error?

citizenDAK,

When did this problem start happening? Does it happen everytime you try to open VB6? Did anything change from the time this started happening?

Please provide me with this information so I can have a better understanding of the problem.

Yes it occurrs every time I launch VB6.

For a long time now, at least many months.  It's not every day that I need to open good old VB6.  I was hoping it'd just 'go away' but it hasn't.

I don't know what changes lead up to it.  LOTS of things have been updated, security-patched, etc...  (It is XP.)  I've even un-installed the runtime, then re-installed it when I kept getting the same prompt.  Don't have any idea why, I was hoping you could tell me from the specific file named in the error.  (Google didn't find it for me, and neither did searching ni.com)

p.s.,  Sorry I left out a decimal and copy/pasted it several times...  should've said "NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1"

CitizenDAk,

This is a tricky one. I have never encountered this before. I was going to suggest re-installing the Run-Time engine but it seems like you have already done this. How about uninstalling and re-installing VB6?

[citizenDAK]

Already tried that too, not fixed.  😞  

Any idea which 'file' or product that GUID-looking number belongs to?

CitizenDAK,

This is really strange. I found a knowledge base article that talks about troubleshooting error code 1334. The actual description of the error is completely different from the error you are experiencing. It actually talks about an error that occurs when running a LabVIEW executable, but the explanation given is somewhat relataded and talks about registering a dll. I am hoping that maybe this same DLL could be the cause of YOUR prolem. Here is the link:

Please let me know how it goes!

[citizenDAK]

No, "RegSvr32 nireports.dll" ran fine but did not fix the problem.  😞  Any other suggestions?

It seems you are not the only one with this problem. Look at this post, I think the person who posted last was able to get rid of this.
