Has anyone tried to install FIRST Robotics Labview Version on Windows 7 and download/upload code to the robot??

Yes. and Yes. It does install though its not just as easy as throwing in the CD and launching setup. I"m running windows 7 on my hp tablet and i had to install each of the Labview FRC components manually. I think there was easily 8 - 10 different setups if not more that needed to be ran to get it to work. The menu/scripted installer throws up an SDK error when launched.
Once it is installed you also have to manually activate each component If i remember right as well with the license manager.
After that you then can install the update 3 and activate that.
Once all that is done just set your ip address to match the scheme and your good to go. I haven't had any other issues as far as labview goes.
The only real problem i have going right now is where the laptop will just randomly shut down. you'd be working or playing a movie or something and bam its powered off. when you turn it back on its like you had a power outage. battery can be fully charged even. Thing is i don't know if its the laptop or windows 7 as the laptop has taken quite a beating as part of my job.
oh yes by the way this is my "production" system. I'm a network tech/admin for the RESA/ISD that oversees about 7 school districts in our county with about 200+ miles of fiber optics and 15k or more computers on the network.
