How to install Labview 2009 on Windows 7

[fmethot]

This might be a Windows 7 configuration.  I tried "Run as administrator" or Run in Compatibility mode" the setup.exe file.  Windows 7 does not allows to copy files in the System32 folder, so I can't install Labview.

Is somone can help to install Labview 2009 on Windows 7?

Thank you

Are you the administrator of the computer? Can you install other software? There could be some administrative problems if you're, for example, are at work and your system administrator has set a limitation on your computer/network.

I have both LV2009 and 2010 installed on my windows 7 with no problems. Didn't have to run it as administrator. Just double click the setup file and follow the instructions.

Hope this could help you further on. If not, please tell us some more details about your computer system.

This problem is only with the main setup.exe in the root of the DVD.  What you need to do is install the packages individually. 

Navigate to the Distributions folder of the DVD.  Open the LabVIEW folder and start with the setup.exe in that folder.

Install your additional packages the same way.  Once installed, LabVIEW 2009 works just fine in Windows 7.   Don't forget to install the SP1 too.

Hello,

I did try this and got the same error message:

Error 1310.  Error writing to F:\National.......\Shared\Mesa\mesa.dll.  Verify that you have access to that directory.

This is the first of multiple error message...if I keep clicking Ignore...

My F drive is a 16GB SanDisk.  I want to install labVIEW on this disk because I want to save space on my C.

I am able to write on my F no problem.  Already, Setup had writing some files on it...

I set the compatibily mode to XP SP3 and Run as Admin.

What should I do?

Seems as though you're seeing something different than what I first thought. 

LabVIEW should install to a drive other than "C" without trouble. 

I had a look around to see if anyone else had seen this problem, and I found something interesting here: http://windowstipsandfixes.blogspot.com/2008/10/error-1310-cant-write-to-configmsi.html

Specifically with regards to resetting the Windows installer with the following:

msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver

Other than that, I'm not sure what might be causing the problem you're seeing.
