"LabVIEW 2010 Not Detected" shown when I install VBAI Development Toolkit

[penang-dev]

I have installed the following products:

(1) LabView 2011

(2) VDM 2011 SP1

When I wish to install VBAI 2011 SP1 with enabling "Development Toolkit", the error message prohibits me to continue the installation.

According to documentation "NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection Development Toolkit Tutorial", I need this toolkit in order to create custom steps.

Some expert please guide me on this.

My products installed:

Although it may not be intuitive, VBAI 2011 requires LV 2010 for using the VBAI developers toolkit. I believe the VBAI developers toolkit readme will mention this.

Sorry for the confusion and hope this helps,

Brad

The error message is correct. The VBAI 2011 SP1 requires LabVIEW 2010 to be installed.

Vision Builder 2011 SP1 is a LabVIEW application that was build using LabVIEW 2010 and uses the LabVIEW 2010 runtime engine.

For people who would like to develop custom steps on Windows only, we could potentially come up with technical solutions, which would allow to use newer versions of LabVIEW (because LabVIEW installs side by side on Windows). However, Real-time targets like smart cameras and embedded vision system do not support side by side install of LabVIEW. For this reason, we decided to require the use of LabVIEW 2010 to develop custom steps.

We also recognize that LabVIEW 2010 might not be available for purchase anymore. Please contact your NI representative to work out a solution.

Yes, because switching to using years to indicate releases has made things so much clearer, right?
