no NI Service Locator and Web Server services after installing FPGA Module

Solved!
Go to solution

I installed LabVIEW 2016 and there was all fine. I saw the NI Web Server and the Service Locator services running. I could open tcp server with service names. Then I installed the FPGA-Module 2016 and now I can't find the nisvcloc.exe and both services are off. I can't start them with windows. Service Locator -> Error "can't find", Web Server -> Error "1067" because it needs the Service Locator service running.

Without this services LabVIEW FPGA can't connect to the local Compile Server and I can't open a tcp server with service names and Example Finder doesn't open the examples, but that's not important.

After uninstalling the FPGA-Module and repairing LabVIEW 2016 still both services are off and there is no nisvcloc.exe under C:\WINDOWS\system32\nisvcloc.exe

All worked fine with LabVIEW 2012 SP1 and the HIL and Real Time Test Suite 2016 (LabVIEW2016, FPGA-Module, VeriStand2016 and many more) till monday... then I installed with the NI Update Service a new update for the Updater with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable and then nothing worked more. Why there are allway this things with NI-Products...

Uninstall and reinstall takes many hours and you don't know if it would work.

LabVIEW 2016 32bit with FPGA-Module

Next try: unistalled all NI-Software, cleared the registry. Reboot.

1. Installed LabVIEW 2016, services worked.

2. Reboot. services were on.

3. Installed FPGA-Module 2016, services were on

4. Reboot, services were off and didn't start with error outputs.

I think I got it.
1. LabVIEW 2016 installed, all services were on. Restart, services were on
2. FPGA, Xilinx Vivado 2015.4, NIRSeries16.0 installed, services were on
3. reboot, services were off. Can not start manually.
4. Copy all files from "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared".

Manually inserted "NI Service Selector2" at services with `sc create NiSvcLoc2 binPath ="C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\niSccLoc\nisvcloc.exe -s" start=auto DisplayName="NI Service Locator2"` -> https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/kNIFarmResultServerNotResponding-LabVIEW-Error-Code-123011/mp/25752...
5. Reboot, NI Service Locator2 was on, but NI Service Locator was off and all others because of the dependencies

6. Service NISvcLoc deleted in registry and NiSvcLoc2 to NiSvcLoc renamed.
7. reboot, ni service locator and web server run. Can now open server with TCP named serices, find and open examples and the Compile Worker connects with Vivado 2015.4. Also compile then works.

After each additional installation of NI Software (LabVIEW 2012, TestStand 202), the services were down and I had to perform the manual setting in the registry. At least I know that now.
