NI Installer Update message "Update Failed" for Labview 7.1.1

[Tim A]

Hi, We finally decided to open our LV 7 box, yes I know that version 8 is already out.  After I download the version 7.1.1 upgrade and try to install I get the following message  Update failed There was an error while attempting to verify the product(s) for the :abVIEW 7.1.1 update.  Please repair or reinstall the product(s) before running this application. 

Before I reinstall I wanted to post this message so I don't waste my time with the reinstall.  Labview 7.0 works on my computer and I am not sure where to go from here. Other than trying to resinstall V7

Any ideas

Thanks.

Hello Tim,

I think you have downloaded an update for LV7.1 and such an update does not work with LV7.0.

Because you have LV7.0 it is only possible to update to LV7.0.x and not 7.1.1. 

From 7.0 to 7.1 you had have to by the newer version.
