MAX & NI Uninstaler trouble!

[golubovski]

Hello,

This is not a direct LabVIEW issue, but since there is no MAX or general NI board I post it here. Suddenly my desktop cannot see my DAQ card due to the "MAXVISATimeoutError". None of the repiarment options worked to overcome this so I decided to restore the desktop to an earlier date. However, the Acronis TIB image surprised me with being corrupted! Than I decided to re-install all NI software... and guess what - I neither can repair, nor unistall because whatever action I initiate within the Add/Remove NI Software I get the "Don't Send" failure.

My question to you NI guys is what now?

Is there a way to repair the NI Installer/Unistaller?

Is there a way to repair the MAXVISATimeoutError issue?

All advice is wellcome since my last option is to waste 15 days in reinstallation which I'd avoid at any cost...

Thanks in advance,

Golubovski,

Im sorry to hear that your having issues.Can you post a picture of what you see in add and remove hardware and the "don't send" failure?

Here is an article which should help you with that MAX VISA timeout error: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D57A25E7B74F31E8862577A7005426D7

Unfortanelty due to the corrupted Acronis image you may have to reinstall somethings depending on what is accessible with that faulty image.
