Why Do I Have Problems Viewing Modular Instruments' Soft Front Panels in MAX?

Primary Software: Instrument Drivers/IVI>>IVI Compliance Package
Primary Software Version: 3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
In Measurement &  Automation Explorer (MAX), if I select Tools » Soft Front Panels, the only option I see is the ni5660 RFSA Demo Panel. I have all the Modular Instruments instrument drivers installed on my computer, but I cannot select a soft front panel for any of the other products..

I have the NI IVI Compliance Package installed.

What should I do to correct this issue?

Solution:
To correct this issue you will need to run the NI IVI Compliance Package installer in the Modify mode. To run the installer in this mode, complete the following steps:
  1. Select Control Panel» Add/Remove Programs» National Instruments Software» Change/Remove.
  2. Choose NI IVI Compliance Package.
  3. Click the Modify button. This step then prompts you for the Driver CD distribution from which you installed the IVI Compliance Package.
This modification enables the IVI MAX Provider. After the provider is installed, all the Modular Instruments soft front panels show up in MAX under Tools » Soft Front Panels.
