I am not aware of any mayor upgrade since 7.1.1 (which was a free patch upgrade for 7.1 late last year).
The 7.1.1 Readme contains upggrade notes and a list of changes.
I don't think there were any dramatic changes since then, maybe they just pressed a new spring 2005 CD with updated drivers? Just guessing... ;).
Good Morning,
As was mentioned in the previous post there doesn't seem to be any additional changes since the 7.1.1 patch. On that note, it appears that the quarterly CD's just sent out don't include that patch, as we just installed LabVIEW on a machine Friday (tried to anyway!) and LabVIEW came up with version 7.1, even though I had the IT folks use the cd we had just received (the Quartely one). I said "tried to" as when they were done with the install there was a problem booting the machine, WindowsXP Pro SP2 giving a set of error messages, the first two claiming that the NI licensing executable (I don't remember the exact name at the moment) was trying to write to memory that it couldn't, and then when clicking past the two instances of that a message stating the Windows was having a problem. They were able to get the machine to start in "Safe Mode", and LabVIEW appears to be installed at that point (loads, runs apparently ok), so we don't know what went wrong. They are going to look into it more this morning and then probably scrub and reinstall everything. 😞 So I guess my question is, has anyone used the quarterly update to install LabVIEW (the cd set really is to send out the NIDAQ 7.4 update)? If so, did it go ok? I've been installing LabVIEW for 13 years, since the days of bunches of blue floppy disks, and don't recall having anything like this happen. Thankfully, due to my customer's internal policies, the IT group was doing the install rather than me!
