FRC LabVIEW install

How do I get to: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments"? I did a C drive search and it did not find any folder named "HKLM".

It's not in the filesystem. It's in the registry. You use the registry editor program to work with things in it. But if you don't know what you're doing, it's not a good idea to go messing with the registry. You can render your computer unusable if you do something wrong.

I looked up on how to do this but I did not find the NI-VISA folder and I still have the error.

You will want to use Run (or the start menu on Vista/win7, or cmd if you really want to) to run regedit, but be super careful not to mess anything up, and doing a backup of your computer and/or the registry before you do anything is a good idea.
