Labview and Wind River install as a single package.
Wind River requires an active Internet connection to install, however, so make sure you are connected before you begin, and have plenty of disk space.
Be warned that the Wind River activation is not school network friendly.

To go along with this, it should tell you to install on a laptop (or stand-alone) computer. You will need to change the IP address in the ports & unless your school's IT department gives you those privileges you will need another place to download code from. We found that we can use the school computers to write code in masses & then save to a repository, put on flash drive, & then bring to the programming computer.
Also, Joe, you rock. Your comments are very helpful & insightful. FIRST is lucky to have a great mentor like yourself. To everyone working on your new control systems, please read & re-read Joe's comments.
Please don't rush through your setup. You have been given time, take advantage of it.
