It has been posted on the First Robotics Labview 2010 Beta forums since October 19th 2009 that Windows 7 is not supported this year. Here:

That's not to say you can't get it to run - we have 3 computers I'm aware of running windows 7 and the beta labview without an issue. Each portion had to be installed individually, but it did work for us. That's just to say that you shouldn't expect it to actually work.
If you do a search you'll find better instructions from our Beta-Partner (and sister team) 2604 on how they got it to work.
Good luck! |
In response to what Tom said. Last years installer for the 2009 FRC edition had to be installed seperatly and took a very long ammount of time. I have multiple windows 7 systems that we have played with along with the new beta and the "scripted" for lack of better term installer appears to be able to work just fine on both 32 and 64 bit windows 7 editions.
While it is not officially supported it does appear to work without any issues. We used my laptop that was running a beta version of windows 7 last year in a pinch to change some code between matches when the Ethernet port on our primary programming laptop went out and wouldn't connect to the driver station or crio directly after a large static shock. I have also used it with the beta version this year and have yet to see it not work properly.
One big thing to mention when it comes to the 64 to 32 bit versions is the use of the C:\program files(x86)\ folder where labview installs on 64bit does not exist on the 32 bit version (its c:\program files\ instead) and any code that is moved between versions will need to be relinked to there respected vi's.
