NI软件卸载以及清除残余文件

National Instruments(简称NI)软件卸载以及清除残余文件的方法：

1. Use Add/Remove programs to remove the software. If errors persist proceed to Step 2.

 

2. Look into Add/Remove programs to see if the entries remain:

Go to Start >> Run and type "regedit"

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/National Instruments/Common_Installer

Delete the related Registry Keys for the components that still appear in Add/Remove Programs.

Note: The keys will appear with similar names and have a long number/letter code appearing after initial text.

 

3. Use MSIBlast to expose hidden MSI uninstallers and remove them if necessary. For more information and how to complete this section, refer to the following instructions:

·         Download the attached file, msiBlast.exe, and save it to the desktop or local hard drive.

·         Double click on the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.

·         Choose the Show NI Installers Only selection.

·         Using (Ctrl+Left Mouse Click) select all National Instruments Software that you want to remove that appears in MSIBlast.

·         Uninstall all of the National Instruments MSI Registry entries.

 

4. Clean all references to National Instruments components from the computer. For more information and how to complete this section, refer to the following instructions:

·         Go to START button of your operating system, choose RUN and type "regedit". This will open the Registry Editor window. Go to the Registry Menu and choose Export Registry File. Select "All" for the export range, and select a file name. This creates a backup of the Registry in case a mistake is made when deleting the keys.

·         Remove the following registry components from the Windows Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ , \ISA, or \PCMCIA and delete registry entries containing any keys with 1093 in them.

Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed. Continue with the remainder of the process .

Note: You may need to modify security policies. In Windows XP you can modify security options using Edit>> Permissions in the Registry Editor (regedit).

·         Close regedit.

·         Make sure that you do not have any of your own VIs or other files saved in the "C:\VXIpnp", "C:\Program Files\National Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a different location. If you are concerned about keeping old virtual channels and your SCXI setup intact, then backup the "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq" file, too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.

·         Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu.zip) and copy it to the hard drive.

Note: There are two versions of the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility included in the zip file. The first version, Msicu.exe, supports Windows 95/98. The second version, Msicuu.exe, supports Windows NT/2000/XP.

·         Run the windows installer clean up utility by unzipping the file and selecting the appropriate executable.

·         Reboot your computer.

5. You should be ready to install your software. For the cleanest possible install, first install all of your application development software, such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, etc. Do a custom install, so that you can install just the application WITHOUT ANY DRIVERS. Reboot your PC when requested after each install. Even if the installer does not tell you to reboot, it would probably be a good idea to do so anyway. Now install your driver software and follow the associated user manuals. Some older non Plug-n-Play hardware must be installed before the driver. Download the latest versions of the drivers that support your hardware from our Drivers and Updates software library (link below), and install them one-by-one, rebooting after each install.

6. Finally, shut down and re-install your hardware.
