You need to post specific errors. Without these we will be unable to help.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

Ok when LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6.1 LabVIEW, Real-Time Patch, and NI-RIO start installing the installer exits.

I had similar problems when I was out of disk space.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

That's not the problem but all of the not installed components give me the NI-VISTA error.:confused:

Should I download and install this? http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2185/lang/en

I'm having the same problem on a Dell Studio 1458. I have plenty of disk space, and this is what the errors are in the installer:

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

Is this a fresh install, or upgrade? Ensure that you are installing with administrator privileges. If you had administrator privileges, you may want to try uninstalling all NI components, and then use the MSIblast program to uninstall anything remaining. (MSIblast from the NI forums) Retry installing after a restart. (Remember to use administrator privileges for uninstalling/reinstalling)

Are any of you trying to install on Windows 7 Starter? I know some of the drivers are not compatible with Windows 7 Starter.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

Nope. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

After running MSIBlast, still no luck. Running the setup wizard gives the same errors.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

I'll still getting errors too and when I try to install NI-VISA 4.1 I get Unsupported version of NI-VISA detected.:confused:

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

I am also having a problem. I install Labview and everything appears to work, but when i start Labview it is not FRC edition, and I cannot access the WPI robotics library or the default templates. It appears to me that the FRC Tools are not installing so I try reinstalling them and the re-installation does not work. It cites no error and does not inform me of the failure until the very last step, where it presents the installation report, and tells me that "no software was installed" under any of the categories. I looked in the NI Uninstall/Or Modify application and it shows the FIRST Utilities as an uninstallable option. Has anyone else encountered and error like this? Or does anyone have any advice? I have run the install several times now, and i have completely uninstall-ed everything and started from scratch multiple times.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

It seems like your problem is that you need to install the LabVIEW updates, and the FRC 2011 Utilities.

I found a solution to my problem (and artbot's) though:
In the registry, there was a key marking that NI-VISA 3.2 (!!) was installed. I have never had NI-VISA installed before, and I dont know where this came from. It was in HKLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-VISA. There was a value named "CurrentVersion", which had its value set to 3.2. I uninstalled all of LabVIEW, removed all of the contents of the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments", reinstalled and it worked.

Re: FRC LabVIEW install
 

You are right SIR! Installing the Labview updates cured four separate computers of mine from being unable to recognize the FRC Utilities. I guess the two computers it worked on without the updates were flukes. It seems like the update really does resolve a lot of problems and should be installed whether you think your original install went correctly or not. Thanks for the help!
