Horsechilli Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hello everyone, hopefully you guys know if there's anything I can do to fix this issue. I've been trying for the past week to fix my LabVIEW installation and VIPM. I don't know exactly what it is, but something in a VIPM package or VIPM itself is bricking my installation. In essence, what happens goes like this: I install LabVIEW, then a bunch of components, VIPM and after installing a few packages then LabVIEW crashes permanently on launch. I get the following crash every time I launch LabVIEW: Here's what I've tried: I've tried uninstalling-reinstalling LabVIEW and VIPM. Removing all folders manually from NI, JKI, etc. Update all LabVIEW components, run-times, etc. with the Package Manager and Update Service prior to using VIPM, etc. This is not the first time I set up LabVIEW/VIPM and haven't had issues in the past. In my case I cannot perform a complete clean install / format my drive. So I'm stuck here. Is there any way of uninstalling packages manually? How could I go on about that? I can't uninstall anything through VIPM since LabVIEW has been bricked. Is there anything I can look for that can help me narrow the source of the issue(?) Worst case scenario is proceed to remove everything again and try again. But I really want to avoid that. The picture of VIPM shows the packages I installed prior to bricking my installation. I didn't install any other package before that. I installed them as a group. I also know that only my 32 bit installation is bricked but not the 64bit version. Because I haven't installed anything yet that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kring Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hi @Horsechilli I saw this happen recently, too, and it was also in LabVIEW 2017. I'll gather my notes on this to try to help you out. Stay tuned... -Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just emailed you some instructions. I did this privately, since the steps involved are tricky and I don't want anyone trying this at home without a safety net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
