Installation failed when installing national instruments driver

Asked By Jerome C Carignan 50 points N/A Posted on - 07/17/2013

Hello,

Today, I was attempting to install the National Instruments driver but an error message displayed during the installation saying “The “NI-488.2.2.8” installation has failed with the following error”. Is this really a problem with Windows installer? I have tried to reinstall this driver but could not find any improvement. I need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The “NI-488.2.2.8” installation has failed with the following error: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

The software that you are installing may require you to run the installer with Administrative rights. Right-click on the exe file Or the installer file and then click Run as Administrator. It can also be that your installer is corrupted. Download the National Instruments from the link below and try to install it again:

Download National Instruments

Another way is to temporarily disable the UAC or the User Account Control feature. This might be the cause of the issue.
