I was able to remedy problem by using windows explorer to view ni-=
daq cd and run the nidaq.msi in the nidaq dir. Going this route caused a us=
er window to appear that allows you to remove all / repair etc. I selected =
the remove all option which then removed whatever had been installed on pre=
vious installation. I then went the usual route of control panel\settings\r=
emove s/w to remove the MAX. I then went back and ran setup.exe in the nida=
q cd root dir and everything installed properly. The key was the first step=
mentioned above. The control panel\settings\remove s/w display did not sho=
w ni-daq evidently due to prior improper installation which prevented unins=
talling this way. The autorun feature of the ni-daq cd did not deal with th=
e improper installation because it would simply say it successfully install=
ed when it did not install any thing. The original installation that improp=
erly installed the ni-daq was when I installed the labview full development=
system. Everything else installed correctly at that time except for ni-daq=
