The LabVIEW 2025 Q3 Beta installer is now available for Windows. Note that modules and localized versions are not included in this Beta program.

• Warnings:
• This installer will replace LabVIEW 2025 Q1 with the Beta.
• NI recommends that you install the Beta on a dedicated test machine or VM.
• You will need to uninstall the Beta if you want to install the release version of LabVIEW 2025 Q3 on the same machine, since NIPM does not support upgrading from the Beta.

Hi all,

After I installed LabVIEW 2025 Q3 Beta, I did not see Nigel in the help. I want to confirm if this beta version has the Nigel function.

[Christina_R]

No, the Nigel AI Advisor is not available in this Beta. It will be a feature of the released version of LabVIEW 2025 Q3, but it will require an active subscription or SSP for the Professional Edition.

If I download and install 2025 Q3, the installer welcome dialog says it is Q2? Same difference?

(Later, in the product selection it says Q3)

Thanks for reporting this. I believe it is just a temporary issue from the way our build process works, but I'll make sure this isn't an issue for the release.

Hello,

Is there any update on the release date of 2025Q3? I've heard it is July 2025 but never heard or read what day to expect it. Looking forward to testing it out and am excited to eventually have Windows containers in the future 😄

[Christina_R]

I can't promise the exact date, but we're still expecting LabVIEW 2025 Q3 to be available later this month.
