Still talking about this: "I can't install LabviewN wersion X/Y"

I upgraded to Win10 from Win7.

I read evrything about my system and requirements, installed many drivers for this and still nothing.

I've been trying to install Labview for two weeks so please: don't treat me like an idiot.

In a previous post, you mentioned:

1. I have only: "Unistall/Change". This program doesn't exist in my disc, I find.

2. Nope.

3. I try 64-bit and 32-bit

Still nothing.

Labview2013 too crashers

To me, this indicates that maybe you at least got it installed and now it's just crashing, so it was a very legitimate question.  I feel like there's a little bit of a language barrier that makes you not quite able to express yourself as clearly as you'd like.

Men, I really have no idea how to tell it. Every LabView installation freeze my computer. Once it crashed for 72 hours. I couldn't even move the cursor. Every time i try to install LabView it freeze on the 1% of instalation while "Publishing product information". I checked the hard disk, I checked all folders. The program and its files doesn't exist in my computer. Only in control panel in "Add or remove programs" appears a new writing - "National Instruments Software". But there is no LabView in the start menu, the hard disk folders, the register, pendrive or phone.

edit:

Sorry men, my mistakes. No crashes, only freeze.

Thanks for the details; your description gives me a better feel for what you are experiencing.  One thing about your description that I am not sure about.  I have no experience with Windows 10, but as far as I know, Microsoft stopped calling that control panel element "Add or Remove Programs" with Windows Vista and started calling it "Programs and Features", and still exists as such in Windows 10 (at least for older programs?).  At this point, I can't really say that you have a stable operating system.  it may very well be that your upgrade to Windows 10 wasn't as successful as you had perviously thought.

Dear Kasztanek,

we had already similar experience with the combination of upgraded W10 and LV2015 other customers. With clean installation there were no, or just few problems. Some problems with our SW are definitely caused by the upgraded W10. If you want to program FPGA with our SW, you can also experience problems on W10 (even clean instal) - Xilinx compiler is not officially supported on W10 yet.

On other hands the installator crash/hang can be also caused by antivirus SW, or other weird SW (scanners, "enhancers", "speed up", ...) preset on the system. Even a corrupted installer can cause this. If you want to investigate what causes this, you will need to go thru the Windows Event Viewer log in different categories (Application, System, ...). There are timestamps on the events, so it should be somehow easy to find the proper lines in the log. Do you run the downloaded installer directly from local HDD, or from a external storage?

I personally would try to reformat HDD and do a clean Windows 10 installation. After this download (using downloader, not direct link) LabVIEW 2015 (SP1) 32b and try to install (with no antivirus SW enabled). After the time you spend on this problem this can be the easiest reveal for your problem.

Reformatting your PC is quite an extreme step - you may not be in a position/willing to do this.

Another option which isn't quite as extreme as that would be to do your LabVIEW installation on a Virtual Machine (e.g. VMWare Player / Virtualbox) which is running a copy of Windows 7. I think there's quite a few LV developers that do this. There might be a few hardware compatibility issues - but I haven't had too many problems with VMWare Player.

I can appreciate that this can be a pretty frustrating problem - I have had issues with LV installations in the past as well.

Problem solved. I bought a new hard disc and Win 7. Thank you for your patience and a desire to help
