I get this error, when I want to start Labview Preinstaller. I ve also downloaded the offline installation data but the error still appears.
I think the main problem is that one day before I interrupted the Installation of Labview.
Thank you in advance

NI Package Manager is, unfortunately, not designed for "easy installation" and "easy removal".
Deleting National Instruments Files/Folders from your C: drive is not recommended (by me). It can be done safely, but if something goes wrong, you are looking at reformatting the C: drive and reinstalling Windows and everything else (I did this to myself twice a few years ago).
I'm sorry that I can't read the Error Message (my knowledge of German is extremely limited).
Assuming you have safely removed the original Installation, and haven't damaged the Windows structure that LabVIEW requires, here is what I suggest:

The problem was that I even couln't run the packageinstaller programm .
I used a tool from the internet to completely remove all already installed labview files in the registry. So I think the problem was in the registry.
Now it works. Labview is installing now
Thank you for you hints.

Wow, you are extremely lucky. When NIPM first came out, it messed up my LabVIEW installation, so I tried doing a complete uninstall, along with using "a tool from the internet to completely remove all already installed LabVIEW files from the registry". Nothing worked after that step until I:
Should you have a problem installing a second time, I strongly advise you to skip the registry cleaning the next time.
