Solution

The repair process is different depending on if you previously installed the software through NI Package Manager, or by manually executing a standalone installer.



Software installed using NI Package Manager 19.5 or later

In newer versions of NI Package Manager, click on the installed tab >> the software in question >> the green repair button at the top of the page and selecting all software updates available.

Software installed using NI Package Manager version 19.0 or earlier

Older versions of NI Package Manager do not have an option to repair an installation. This is in contrast to the previously available repair option for NI Software within the Windows Control Panel. Due to the lack of this feature, repairing an installation requires two steps:

Uninstall the software in question using the steps given in: Uninstall National Instruments Software or Drivers Using NI Package Manager. Download and install the software again from Software and Driver Downloads.

Software installed originally without NI Package Manager

Note: This method should not be used to uninstall software, only to repair, as it will not remove the software from NI Package Manager and could cause severe issues when trying to resolve dependencies.
