Hi! I have been trying to download LabView for a university project. I managed to download just LabView with every extra unticked, and now trying to download individual packages. I downloaded NI-Serial with no issues - again with every extra unticked.
Packages think I need:
NI-DAQmx - use with NI USB-6001
NI-IMAQ - camera
NI-IMAQdx - USB webcam
NI-VISA - use with TCP board
My processor:
64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor, Snapdragon(R) X Plus - X1P42100 - Qualcomm(R) Oryon(TM) CPU (3.24 GHz)
I received this same error for all of the packages. The project is pretty flexible so I am open to suggestions on workarounds or other recommendations.
Thank you for reading, any help hugely appreciated.
The error message:

Recommendation: use a different computer with a x64 CPU (Intel, AMD)…
The error message in the image is quite clear on that issue!

Hi GerdW, I understand, however, this is the PC that is available to me!

Then you (or someone else) missed to check the requirements for the project before you (or someone else) decided on the hardware/software to be used.
In your case: the laptop does not fit to the project requirements!
When you need LabVIEW with (lots of NI) hardware support than you should use a computer with a x64 CPU…

It's even more limited than just the CPU. NI DAQ hardware, do not support any of the USB based DAQ hardware on any system but Windows. That includes your USB-6008. And no, Windows RT or any of the newer Windows for ARM are not a solution, it has to be Windows on an x64 CPU.
