When trying to run an NI installer, I see the following message dialog.
Why is Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 required before installing NI software?
National Instruments software makes use of features of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. If .NET Framework 4.0 is not detected on your system prior to software installation, NI installers will ask you to install the framework prior to continuing the installation.
Microsoft's policy for software that installs the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 states that a reboot may be required before installing any other software. NI installers honor this reboot request, so you may be prompted to reboot after installing the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and before installing any NI software. After rebooting, you can restart the NI installer and installation of your NI software will proceed.
This reboot occurs only if you are running Windows XP or later and if you do not already have the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
Attempting to install NI software without rebooting could cause errors described in .
For silent, large-scale distribution of software, NI recommends installing the .NET Framework 4.0 separately before attempting to install NI software. If you attempt to install NI software silently on computers that do not have the .NET Framework 4.0 installed, you will get one of the following return codes:
11641 & This code is returned if the .NET Framework 4.0 pre-installation is successful, a reboot is required, and the reboot has been initiated.& No NI software is installed.
13010 & This code is returned if the .NET Framework 4.0 pre-installation is successful and a reboot is required but is suppressed. The installer simply exited. No NI software is installed. If you attempt to run the installer again with rebooting, you will see the errors discussed in .
11603 & This code is returned if there is an error with the .NET Framework 4.0 pre-installation. The installer exited, and no NI software is installed.
For more information about Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or to install it directly, refer to .
