Purchase of Labview 8.2 to support Infinity Project

[gibsan]

 I will be attempting to teach with Labview for the Infinity Project this Spring. Unfortunately, to install NI's own 'Labview for Infinity Project' labs, I have to install Labview 8.2 - it will NOT install with LV2009. How do I acquire 8.2? Why has NI stopped supporting the Infinity Project, after buying Hyperception and the Speedy 33? Why is the high-dollar Full or Pro version of Labview required for an academic application ( it won't work with Student 8.2)? What is NI's latest strategy for teaching intro DSP in an academic environment, one that doesn't require thousands of dollars per seat and maintenance contracts for all kinds of capabilites that teachers will not use nor want?

You should probably contact the Field Sales Engineer of your area and he/she should be able to help you on this and provide you with answers. If you call your local branch, you should be able to find out who that person is and get their contact information. After getting some answers, maybe you can share them with us?

Hi Gibsan

I am a product manager here at National Instruments and would like to help you with your problem. I am trying to understand your problem a little more - The LabVIEW for Infinity Project Software comes packaged with LabVIEW 8.2 already. You should not have to find it separately, if you do not have the disc, can you let me know where you acquired the labs from so I can help fix the problem at source? Also, I can help you acquire a new copy of this software in case you cannot find it.

We apologize for the misconception of having to buy a full copy of LabVIEW to teach the Infinity Project labs  - to clarify this problem, "LabVIEW for Infinity Project" is designed specifically for the Infinity Project educators and students and includes all the necessary functionality for you to teach introduction to DSP and image processing with LabVIEW.

Please let me know these details so that I can help you.

Regards

I am a teacher trying to use The Infinity Project with LabView.  We have the original disks and the speedy 33s, but I can't get them to install.  I installed a current educational version of LabView, but it can't get at any of the Infinity Project Labs.  I have to start teaching this in 3 weeks.  Can anyone tell me how to get The Infinity Project Labs in Labview to work?

Which version of Windows are you using?  I am guessing Windows 10.

LabVIEW 8.2.1 is compatible with Windows Vista.

You can try changing the compatibility setting of setup.exe to Windows Vista when attempting your installation in Windows 10.
