*EDIT* Try Jon's method first. It looks a bit easier.
. If that fails, try this.

Is there a new version of Lab view that is compatable with Windows 7.
WE would like to get this coputer set up and running before the Kickoff

Try this (not proven to work with LabVIEW, but it works for other programs; it's 7's "Run in XP mode/Run in Vista mode" feature):
- Copy all of the files on the LabVIEW CD to your Hard Drive, in a seperate folder (ie Labview install)
- Right-click setup.exe (or whichever program the disc autoruns), click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, and check the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' box. Select Vista SP2.
- Click Apply, and run the setup program.
If this works, excellent. If not, try Vista SP0, and XP SP3. If neither of these change it, try right-clicking the executable and looking for a Troubleshoot Compatibility option. Click on this if it appears.
If none of these work, then I suggest setting up a VM on your W7 machine to run XP, or waiting until the new LabVIEW software is released.
Best of luck!
