LabVIEW: Unable Install Code (Access Denied)

[Mark McLeod]

There are easy ways to check your FRC versions on both the cRIO and PC LabVIEW installation.

Fire up the Driver Station application, connect to the cRIO and the Diagnostics tab should display the version numbers of the

• cRIO = ...v43
• DS = 11.30.11.00

(and Kinect Server version is displayed there, too)

Fire up LabVIEW and verify the version:

Help -> About FIRST Robotics Competition Software...

It should say "Software Update 4.0.0"

Hey,
We are having the same problem between Labview and Compact C-RIO. When I open Labview it says click for mandatory update wheras I've done it too many times. And also the version of labview is still 3.1 but Mr Mcleod says it must be 4.0 What am I missing ?? Is there any idea that can help ?

Where is it telling you version 3.1? The actual LabVIEW version is 11.0, so far as I can see.

If you're talking about the "FIRST Robotics Competition Software 2012" update number, you might not have run the mandatory FRC LabVIEW update. On page 3 of the Getting Started with the 2012 FRC Control System document, it says:

After you’ve installed your programming language base software, all teams must install the language specific updates.

Did you install this year's labview from the kit of parts? It sounds like you are still using last years version.
