Labview is truly heinous when it comes to the amount of tentacles they put into your system. On the other hand that's also a strong point - the integration allows them to use and detect almost any hardware you connect.

Anyway - uninstall the old labview first. It contains many services that run on your computer startup, and I'm not sure how "well" labview goes in and turns off all that stuff before installing the new version.

We always make a point of uninstalling the old version first. We also included that direction in all our beta presentations, and we haven't had an issue yet.

If you continue to have the issue, you might want to copy the cd image to your desktop and mount it using something like poweriso.
