Solution
This can usually be solved by the following steps:
1. Go into NI Package Manager and make sure that the
Show full version numbers and infrastructure packages option is checked from inside the menu accessed by selecting the cog in the upper right-hand corner of NI Package Manager.
2. Go to the
Installed tab uncheck the box
Products only. 3. Enter "rabbit" into the search bar. Uninstall anything that shows up in that list.
4. Enter "erlang" into the search bar. Uninstall anything that shows up in that list.
5. Go to the Windows Add or Remove Programs menu and search for the RabbitMQ server entry and OTP Erlang. Make sure to uninstall these as well if they are present.
6. Delete the cache of the packages downloaded by deleting the contents of
"C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MDF\ProductCache" as well as
"C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\packages".7. Restart your computer and try installing SystemLink, FlexLogger, or the LabVIEW NXG Web Module again.
If this didn't solve the problem, you can try deactivating your anti-virus. This is because security software can sometimes block the installation of RabbitMQ or other dependencies of SystemLink, FlexLogger, or the LabVIEW NXG Web Module.
In some cases the uninstallation will not remove a registry key and this will cause the NI Package Manager to fail when installing the package. To resolve this follow the steps below:
- Open Regedit.exe
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ericsson\Erlang\ErlSrv\1.1\RabbitMQ
- Remove that key.
It is also important to note that the installation of other software can enable by default the installation of SystemLink, FlexLogger, and LabVIEW NXG. If you do not need to install any of these, make sure to uncheck them from the software selection in NI Package Manager previous to the installation. This can stop triggering the error, and can allow you to proceed with the installation of the software you do need to install in your system.
If you are still having issues, follow the instructions in

The next time you try to install and it fails with this error, an error file will be generated at the directory indicated in that link.
