Solution

This error code typically indicates the NI System Configuration API is not installed on the specified target or is in a bad state. To solve this issue you can try:

• Make sure to install LabVIEW patches over existing LabVIEW that can be downloaded from our website.
• Format the controller, open NI-MAX, select your controller and from the right-click menu select Format disk.
• If unable to format from NI-MAX, you can do it from command line.
• Sometimes for a PXI controller, you might need to upgrade PXI Platform Services to 19.1 .
• There may be an issue with DAQmx driver, try updating to the latest version that is still compatible with both your current software stack and your hardware.
• Try updating NI-MAX if this error appears when trying to add/remove software in general to RT target by upgrading the System Configuration .

If the previous steps don't solve the issue, perform a software reinstallation following the indications provided in Uninstall or Repair NI Software or Drivers in Windows or Installing, Updating, Repairing, and Removing NI Software
