There were a couple of similar posts but not specific to Win7. We have an app that uses the GPIB-USB-HS and ran on Win XP. We ae migrating the app to Win7. I installed the drivers/sw that came with the device for XP on the Win7 PC. The device was not recognized in Win7 so I get version 15.0 of the sw and started to install it. I gor the error that I needed to uninstall unsupported sw. The error info was cleanvista (even though I'm running on Win7, not Vista). Got on the NI website, downloaded the vistacleanuptool. I uninstalled the old NI sw through the control panel, ran the vistacleanuptool, and it said "Windows Vista was detected. You do not need to run this tool". OK, I rebooted anyway, tried to install the latest drivers/sw for the GPIB-USB-HS, got the same error about removing unsuported sw first. So I am stuck, can't load the new sw until I uninstall the old, can't uninstall the old even though it looks like it's unintsalled (not shown as an installed program in control panel, can't uninstall it with the vistacelanuptool). Can anyone help with this? Thanks.
