getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?

Grabbing at straws here.

Perhaps it is 32 bit LabVIEW and it was installed to location other than  C:\Program files (X86)  folder??

Thanks for your response, AKA_TG. It was actually installed in C:\Program files (X86) folder.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?

Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?

This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

Thanks SachaE for your response. You guided me to a solution. I didn't have to rollback the nvidia driver version, I updated it to the latest version instead. The bottom line is the nvidia driver version affects labview installation. Thanks again.
