LabVIEW installation issues

[RTSLVU]

Trying to install LabVIEW 2026 Q3

Online installation errors out (after two hours of installing) with this: 

Could not retrieve the package 'ni-daqmx-labview-support'.

Additional error information:
• An error occurred while writing to the socket. (Failure writing output to destination, passed 16384 returned 1024) URL: https://download.ni.com/support/nipkg/pool/ni-d/ni-daqmx-labview-support/26.5.0/26.5.0.49621-0+f469/...

Trying to download an offline installation returns this error:

server content-length too long, response is invalid

Second attempt at online installation:

Could not retrieve the package 'ni-license-manager'.

Additional error information:
• An error occurred while writing to the socket. (Failure writing output to destination, passed 16384 returned 832) URL: https://download.ni.com/support/nipkg/pool/ni-l/ni-license-manager/26.5.0/26.5.0.49256-0+f104/ni-lic...

Second attempt at downloading a offline ISO returned the same error

 server content-length too long, response is invalid

I sure miss the days when spending thousands of dollars on a software package meant you received physical media.

I had an issue when trying with NIPM install. It worked without issues with offline package, tried to download it again and worked. You can try to use download manager.

The problem seemed to "fix itself" after a few retries of the online installer so I am guessing the issue was on the NI/Emerson end.
