Error installing LabVIEW 2011 on Win 7

I'm getting an error installing LabVIEW 2011 Professional:
I found a thread concerning missing MSIs, which suggested that one run setup.exe with the /log function, so I did, but I don't think it actually says anything useful.
I also found a Microsoft download page for WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe, which is the thing that's supposed to be missing. This seems to be an old version of the installer (most recent compatible OS = WinXP SP2), so I don't really feel like installing this on my Windows 7 system.
Help!! Thanks in advance.

Hi Keller,
I'm Jamie an Applications Engineer at NI UK.
It does seem that you are missing some of the necessary support files required for the installer to run correctly, the details of which are available in the KnowledgeBase article here. Did you download the install files or are you installing from disk?
In addition to the setup.exe file, ensure that you have copied the following folders to the target PC or destination folder when creating an installer with LabVIEW.
bin
license
supportfiles
Hope this helps get you up and running with LabVIEW 2011, let me know if you experience any further issues.
Thanks

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

Hi friend,
This is posing problem becasue 2012 is already installed in the computer. Two developement software with different versions in same computer is insane.
This is completelly false. The most development systems I've ever had installed at once was 9. Many had different toolkits installed and all worked just fine. This is not always the case but I had no problems.

Error installing Labview 7 drivers cd

fatal error occures while installing Labview & device drivers cd.Error: Failed to open handle for D:\components\visa\ni-spy\NISpy.msi

Few things to check
-First verify that the file exists (which i doubt it won't be). Launch that msi by itself by double clicking on it (don't install).
-Try copying the contents of the CD to local drive and run from there.

Cannot Install CR 2011 on Win Server 2003 Terminal Server

I am trying to instlal BuildVersion=14.0.2.364 on a 2003 windows server and it takes hours and then stops with no error message when it is nearing completion. Is there a proper place to post or send my install log?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
If you have checked that you are meeting all of the minimum requirements in terms of OS patches, memory, hardware etc then I would suggest it's probably a good idea to log a message with SAP Support, attach the installation log and any additional information for the investigation.
The required component would be BI-RA-CR.
I hope this is a helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Application crashes when calling DLL built with LabVIEW 2011

Hello everybody,
Our application calls DLLs built with LabVIEW 2010 SP1. We installed LabVIEW 2011 and built some DLLs. So far so good. If we start our application and run 2010 DLLs it still works fine. If we run a 2011 DLL just once no error happens, but if we try to run the same 2011 DLL our application crashes reporting the error below. I saved the code for 2010 version and built a DLL and it works fine. Does anyone know why?
Thank you in advance.

On that note, you should be able to create DLLs in 2010 and run them with 2011, correct?? In my case, I have a 2010 built DLL (talking to sbRIO), most of the functions work when run in 2011, but a couple of them lock up LabVIEW on the desktop (but not the sbRIO), no lock ups happen with 2010 on the desktop.

Why can't LabVIEW 2011 find my PXI?

I'm migrating some real-time Projects from older versions of LabVIEW (8.6 and 2010) to LabVIEW 2011. For the older systems, I installed the appropriate Real-Time software (matching version numbers) on a PXI controller, which MAX saw just fine. When I opened my Project, I chose a New Target and had it look for an existing Real-Time PXI -- it always found the PXI without trouble.
I've just taken another PXI controller (8176) and installed LabVIEW 2011 RT on it. Curiously, during the installation process, MAX identified it (and still does) as a Generic Desktop PC, and when it finds it, gives it a PC-looking icon instead of a PXI chassis icon. When I open my Project in 2011 and try to add this PXI as a target, it finds no Real-Time PXIs. Why is this?
There's a VI called RT Ping Controllers that can find all the PXI controllers -- it finds my PXI, and identifies it (correctly) to me by the name I assigned it, so LabVIEW 2011 can definitely "see" this controller, even if Project (apparently) cannot.
I'm beginning some tests involving TCP/IP (and Network Streams) with this controller and configuration. I've had success with doing this in LabVIEW 2010, but in a (single!) test I've done with this new LabVIEW 2011 RT system, I couldn't "connect". I haven't beaten this system enough, nor done a side-by-side comparison of equivalent code on a LabVIEW 2010 and LabVIEW 2011 system, but would appreciate it if anyone (else) has had issues (or, better, successes) with PXI-related Real-Time in LabVIEW 2011.

Hello,
What version of Measurement Automation Explorer and the NI-DAQmx driver do you have? Also, here is article that you may find of some use:

Where are the Flex Motion VIs in LabVIEW 2011

Hi all!
I just installed LabVIEW 2011 and tried to open an old project made with LabVIEW 6.1, but it can't find the Flex Motion VIs like "Load Target Position.flx" and such. How do I get them back? Do they have to be installed separately?
Thanks in advance.

Simply saying 'it did not work' is not very descriptive. Drivers do come with LabVIEW (at least when purchased) but in any case, did you try clicking on the 'Support' link at the top of the page and entering '7354' as a search item. It would have brought you here. Im not sure but I think the old flexmotion is obsolete and you would need to replace with NI-Motion functions.

LabVIEW 2011 Student Edition on Mac Installation

Hi
I installed LabVIEW 2011 Student edition on my Mac with the OS Mac OSX Version 10.7.1 Lion edition.
At first it wouldn't install (I had installation failure because Lion OSX is 64 bit and not 32)
I used the intructions as demonstrated in the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773
as I found in the forum thread of:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Installing-LabVIEW-2011-for-Mac-OS-X-10-7-Lion-fails/m-p/1653742?req...
After I changed to 32 bit, the apple terminal warned me by doing so I wouldn't be able to save stuff correctly.
The software installed after I used the directions for 32 bit mode, but for some reason it did not say I was in 32 bit mode on the Apple activity monitor, it said 64 bit.
I went to the terminal and used the instructions to turn the operating system into 64 bit (even though it already say it was in 64 bit, despite LabVIEW installing, which requires 32 bit). I rebooted the computer, and I was able to use LabVIEW 2011.
My question:
Once LabVIEW 2011 Mac student edition is installed in 32 bit mode, can it be operated when the computer is in 64 bit mode?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi JoeGanser,
Booting your Mac into OSX 64 bit should still enable LabVIEW to run, even though it is a 32 bit program. You will encounter problems however when using NI-DAQmx Base, NI-VISA or NI-488.2 drivers while running in 64 bit mode.
I have found a KnowledgeBase Article, which explains why this is the case.
Please let me know if that answers your question, please post back if you have further questions.

Lancer un executable Labview 2011 dans Ubuntu 11.10

bonjour ,
j'ai installé labview (2011) dans Ubuntu 11.10 , et aussi j'ai installer le Runtime Engine assicié a cette version.
j'ai créer un programme test , mais lorsque je le lance , j'obtiens le message d'erreur suivant :

For assistance in resolving this problem, please contact National Instruments Support.

svp ,comment je peux résoudre ça
merci d'avance ;

Bonjour devlopperKimo,
tout d'abord, merci d'utiliser le forum National instruments.
Malheureusement National Instruments ne supporte pas Ubuntu, ce qui signifie que le bon fonctionnement de LabVIEW n'est pas assuré.
Est-ce que votre LabVIEW est installé directement sur Ubuntu, je vois le mot clé VirtualBox est-ce que ça a un quelconque rapport avec le logiciel de virtualisation d'oracle?
Cordialement,

Install labview 6.1 (or compatible) run-time engine with labview 2011

I have installed a trial period version of Labveiw 2011 in order to check for possible upgrade issues I may have if I decide to upgrade from labveiw 6.1. Well, needless to say there have been alot. That is as expected since I have not updated labview in many years. I am still not under any pressure to update; however, I would like to in order to get support and make sure I do not have any compatibility issues with new equipment purchases. I have been able to resolve most of my compatibility issues with simple code fixes and such. However, twice now I have run into an error when launching labview executeables compiled by two different equipment manufacturers. The equipment I am using is not even old...maybe a year or so. When I launch the labview executables to control this equipment on a PC that has the trial period labview 2011 installed, I get an error message stating something like " This requires a Labview 6.1 (or compatible) run time engine." I have tried to download and install the 6.1 labivew engine but I can't install this engine on a PC which has labview 2011 installed. Can someone explain how I am to run these executables under labview 2011. I can't imagine these executables were developed using 6.1 since this equipment is not even a year old now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Im not for sure I am on the same page with you here. Im not trying to develop any code myself. I have some labview executables that came with hardware we purchased in order to control it. We used to have labview 6.1 installed; so everything was working ok. But now that I have installed 2011, I get an error message when trying to run these executables. The error message states that this executable requires a labview 6.1 or compatible run-time engine. I have seen this error on both XP and Windows 7 machines. I did not develop the executable, it was developed by the hardware manufacturer. But since this hardware is only about 1 year old, I an assuming they used a newer version of Labview to develop this code. Certianly newer than 6.1.
So I guess my question is..is there a way for me to get this executable to work on a PC that has labview 2011 installed. I have tried to install a labview 6.1 run time engine but it will not install. Any other options?
