run time engine download disabled?

Hi,  I am trying to download the lates LV run time engine.  There are pages for 8.0 and 8.2, no 8.2.1.  However, when I click on the links to download either version, the files are not there.  What's going on?

Go here:

ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/

You'll find them there.  Assuming Windows,

8.0:  ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.0
8.2:  ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.2/8.2.0
8.2.1:  ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.2
8.5:  ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.5

Hi mrsharkbait,
You can go to the drivers and updates page at http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/fn/p/lang/en and search for keyword "runtime engine", which will return pages from where you can download the runtime engines, or go to this page http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/fn/p/sb/navsRel/lang/en?q=runtime+engine&x=0&y=0
I just tried this and it works. How did you get to the pages where runtime engine download is disabled? Maybe those are the old pages that needs to be taken down or forwarding to the new pages.

Could it be that your browser security settings are too tight?

Thanks for the responses.  I followed Yi's links and they do work.  However, I happen to have the URIs from my original attempt, and they still don't work.  Here is an example, and proof Smiley Wink

Upon closer inspection of the URI, and comparing it to Matthew K's, someone at NI had transposed the path.  Just my luck!

Hi mrsharkbait,
Thanks for your report.  This indeed looks like a mistake on the website.  I'll file a report on that and the web team will look into fixing it.

You can get all run-time engines here.

There are two types of runtime engines, for example, for LabVIEW 8.2:

LVRunTimeEng.exe (32 Mb)
LabVIEW_8.2_Runtime_Engine.exe (94 Mb)

It seem the second one (the more complete run-time engine) has been systematically removed from the FTP site. Why is that?
