Have LV 7.0 and 7.1.1. When I start LV 7.0 it wants to install it every time.

I have both LV 7.0 and 7.1 installed on my system.  Every time I
start LV 7.0, it wants to "install" something from the CD.  Of
course it doesn't say what it wants, just that the feature I want is on
the CD.
If I double-click on a vi this doesn't happen - it starts fine. 
It only happens when I start LV 7 from the Start menu or desktop icon.
This doesn't happen with LV 7.1.

I just figured it out.  The shortcut on the desktop must have been pointing to a strange location.
I can't find out where because the properties dialog for it just showed
"LabView" as the target with no path, and it was grayed out so I
couldn't change it.  The "Find Target..." and "Change Icon..."
buttons were also grayed out.
Why does Microsoft obfuscate things like that?
I deleted the shortcut and made a new one to c:\program files\national
instruments\labview 7.0\labview.exe and it works fine now.  The
strange thing is that it did start LV 7.0, but it wanted to do some
installation every time.
