We've been having the same exact error, we've tried 3 different laptops (all W7). I've spoken with NI for a few days and after trying an insane amount of things, they ended up shipping another roboRIO but we're still having the same issue.

The order of installation attempted for the new clean roboRIO:
-Clean install of Labview
-Updated firmware
-Attempt to install (w/ and w/out safe mode) via USB as suggested.

Attempts to get connection over ethernet and wireless have always failed, but USB worked fine after one successful image on the old roboRIO (that was done by a friend's personal computer over ethernet).

We have tried:
-Changing IP settings
-Using MAX (unable to detect (old) roboRIO as remote system/haven't tried with the new roboRIO as no reason for it)
-Checked all connections/placement
-Direct connection to roboRIO
-Connection through router wired and wirelessly
-pinging through cmd has worked sometimes
-using Putty (not sure what we did with it)
Will post more attempts when they come to mind.
