Hey,
I am just migrating from an old XP machine to a newer PC and so have to get all hardware and software working on a windows 7, 32bit OS. Everything is working fine except for the NI programs.
I have two GPIB boards from NI that need installing for which I have NI-488.2 2.0 to install. I tried setting all the files into compatibility and administrator mode but it pops up with many errors. Nontheless, when the board was inserted it was installed and recognized correctly, but the problem was that the NI-software for the board was not working to set the channel.
Then I figured out that I need the new software to be installed for windows 7 and I downloaded the oldest version that was compatible with windows 7 to avoid other issues, namely NI-488.2 2.7.3. Before installing this version I uninstalled the old software and drivers and removed the GPIB board.
When I installed this version it came up with the error that I have to uninstall the Unsupported NI Software to install official supported software... and I had to go to the ni.com/info website and enter cleanvista. I tried all the proposed solutions there, even using the cleanvista.exe file but nothing worked. After restarting and trying several times it didn't work and so I made a setuplog as discribed in that blog as well (Please see attached file).
Could you please help me out on this as this machine really needs to run again soon. I don't need much of the software as I just need to be able to set the channel of the GPIB board as I have to install two boards.
Thank you ever so much!
best wishes
Tom
