LabView Installation Error

[Ppl1241uett]

Hi! I am trying to install the LabVIEW but each time I am getting this error: "Unable to load MIFSystemUtility DLL.
The specified module could not be found". I am tried everything, manually added this file as well. I really need LabVIEW to get through to my project. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much

OS: Windows 10; 64-bit

LabVIEW can be difficult to install -- I generally tell students to "bring your Laptop to me and I'll install it".

Some things you forgot to tell us include:

• Is any version of LabVIEW already installed on your PC?
• How much free disk space do you have?
• What version (year) and what Bit-length (32-bit, 64-bit, or both) do you want to install?
• Do you have experience installing LabVIEW?  Using LabVIEW?
• What do you plan to do with your LabVIEW installation?

One thing that generally helps with a LabVIEW installation is to "go small".  Install 32-bit LabVIEW (on a 64-bit OS).  Install only the Toolkits, Modules, and Drivers that you know you need.  Don't try to install everything "all at once" -- if you are having trouble, install only a few modules and only drivers/features that you need.

Thank you very much for your prompt response. 

• There is no version installed prior!
• I have 25 GB free space.
• I am installing 2020 and my Operating System is 64 Bit.
• I have no experience with the installation
• I am installing it for the learning purposes especially about the Signal Processing, Robotics and HMI. 

I have tried even the simplest toolkit, just the LabVIEW but still could not able to install. The issue is still same each time I tried. Unable to load MIFSystemUtility DLL. I will really appreciate the solution from your side because I really need to learn this.

The DLL or registry key for this sub-system appears to be corrupted or missing.

To fix this:

1. Open an admin command-prompt.
2. Run the following command to repair the necessary packages:
   "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\nipkg.exe" repair ni-msiproperties
3. Now try your install of LabVIEW.

Thank you very much for your kind solution. I will surely try this out and get back to you if I get any issues. Really appreciated:)

In case this is helpful, I found 3 instances of MIFSystemUtility.dll on this Laptop that has LabVIEW 2019 and 2021 installed.  They were located in Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\NIMSIProperties, Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\Update Service, and Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\MFI\NIMSIProperties.  I only installed LabVIEW (32-bit) on this PC (I'm not sure I've ever installed 64-bit LabVIEW ...).

You might look and see if these files are present on your system.  The file sizes are (in order) 449 KB, 549 KB, 449 KB.
