LabVIEW 6.00 installation error 1322

[km9394]

When I install LabVIEW a error occurred just before copy files:

Error 1322. A portion of the folder path " exceeds the length allowed by the system.

This error occur even I choose to install LabVIEW with no components selected in Custom Installation.

I have tried MSI cleanup and uninstall/reinstall NI-VISA and NI-488.2, while it won't help.

Could you help me?

Thanks.

Hello km9394 �

It appears you are receiving error 1322 while installing LabVIEW 6.0. What operating system is this occurring on? Make sure you have administrator access to the OS. What MSI cleanup utility did you use? Did you use MSIBlast?

If you had administrator access and MSIBlast did not help, a possible solution may be to manually clean the registry of National Instruments references.
Go to Start >> Run and type "regedit"
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/National Instruments/Common_Installer
Delete the related Registry Keys for the components you wish to remove.
Note: The keys will appear with similar names and have a long number/letter code appearing after initial text.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, please let me know and I
will look into the matter again. Have a great day!

Hello Becky,

Thanks for you reply to my question.

I found reg key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/National Instruments/Common/Installer" and there is no entry of LabVIEW except a key in the "Product". However it have no effect after i delete this key.

The MSI Clean up utility I used is provided by Microsoft. It enable user to delete windows installer entry software by software.

I have not use MSI Blast, and I can't find its information from web? is it freeware?

Thank you very much, indeed.

Hi km9394 -

I've attached the MSIBlast Utility. Here are instructions for its use:

How to use the MSIBlast Utility:

1. Download the attached file, msiBlast.exe, and save it to the desktop or local hard drive.

2. Double click on the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.

3. Choose the Show NI Installers Only selection.

4. Using (Ctrl+Left Mouse Click) select all National Instruments Software that appears in MSIBlast.

5. Uninstall all of the National Instruments MSI Registry entries.

6. Optional: The Repair option will open the National instruments Installer Program and run the repair option within the installer.

7. Maintenance Mode will open the Installer Program and allow the user to modify the installation. To o
pen the installer do not enter anything in the Command Line Arg? Dialog box.

Please try this and let me know if it works for you.
