jgcode Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hello Anders I am running 8.6.1 and 2009 at Home on Vista Ultimate 32bit. I am not running the others you mentioned. The reason being, as far as I am aware 8.2 is not compatible with Vista. 8.2.1 was the compatiabilty changeover. Cheers Quote Link to comment

Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks! Maybe its the firewall that messup my installation. Try turning it off and reinstalling. Quote Link to comment
jgcode Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks! Maybe its the firewall that messup my installation. At work we had "dirty" installs from the first 8.6 (or 8.6.1 - can't remember) dev suite installer discs. It seems Kaspersky on VISTA was to blame, along with some super long file paths that results when we stored the discs on our server. Also, I have to turn Kapsersky off just to build an installer.

Tomi Maila Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just to report that I am running LabVIEW 2009 on 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate and initially at least it seems to be also working. I haven't tried most of the feature though Quote Link to comment

I haven't tried most of the feature though We should be able to get Windows 7 RTM through our MSDN subscription soon (if not now) - I would like to look at upgrading so that's good to hear. Damn work PCs Intel chips don't support virtualisation, will have to push the boss for an upgrade Quote Link to comment

I haven't tried most of the feature though Maybe the solution is to install Labview 2009 in VM with Windows 7 or upgrade this machine to W7. But it seems very strange way to solve it. I have deinstallad everything related to NI and the firewall/antivirus too, took several hours, reinstalled Labview 2009 and its the same error "The installation of this software may be corrupt.."

crelf Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have after larger numbers of reinstallation attempts not got 2009 to work What's the problem? Doesn't install? Installs with errors? Installs, but running it doesn't work? ... Quote Link to comment
Anders Björk Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) What's the problem? Doesn't install? Installs with errors? Installs, but running it doesn't work? ... It installs without any error messages. When I try to start Labview 2009 after the reboot it says "The installation of this software might be corrupt..." and then it stops Only visible sign of the software running is the error message but looking in the task manager it launches and stops. It is really really strange! I have tried to look for any installation log but not found such a log file. Edited August 11, 2009 by Anders Björk Quote Link to comment

Seems only solution for me is to get a XP licence and make a VM and install Labview 2009 under that. So far no more suggestion from NI that have helped. I have reinstalled 8.6 and it works.

I didn't and it is working fine. Are you sure you are installing the 32 bit version of LV 2009 and not the 64 bit version? I didn't try the x64 to see if the installer complains.

dinston Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just to let you know, I am having the same problem, but on XP. I have a laptop running LV 8.6.1, which when attempting to install LV 2009, I get the error: "The installation of this application may be corrupt. Use Add or Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel to attempt to repair this program." I have tried installing from the distribution DVDs and also the downloaded version. I have tried upgrading from Win XP SP2 to SP3. I have tried uninstalled ALL NI software before each attempt, including using msiBlast.exe, as suggest by NI support to make sure everything is uninstalled. NI support provided a half-hearted attempt to help, but nothing worked. I finally gave up and re-installed 8.6.1. I had installed LV 2009 successfully on my desktop computer and had upgraded an application, but I had to downgrade back to 8.6.1 to get it to load on the laptop. My laptop is a HP Pavilion 6000, Centrino Duo 1.73 GHz, 1GB RAM, nVidia GeForce Go 7400. The only other thing I could think to try would be re-installing XP from scratch, but this would take several days because of other software which is installed. I have a lot of Rockwell software installed on this laptop, and have wondered if there is any interference. Are you running any Rockwell software? Seems only solution for me is to get a XP licence and make a VM and install Labview 2009 under that. So far no more suggestion from NI that have helped. I have reinstalled 8.6 and it works.

My laptop is an LG P300 ,Core2duo 2,5 GHz and Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS. I do not belive I have anything from Rockwell. I have C++ and C# Microsoft Express, VMWare Workstation, GNU Octave with QTOctave, SQL Server Express 2005, PerfectDisk, Mindmanager among others. I done the same as you except not trying upgrading my Vista machine to SP2. The same level of help from NI it seems. We both have Nvidia cards could that be it? I've just installed LV2009 on Vista Ultimate x32 to see if I get the same problems. I didn't and it is working fine. Are you sure you are installing the 32 bit version of LV 2009 and not the 64 bit version? I didn't try the x64 to see if the installer complains. I am sure its the 32bit version I have installed. Thanks anyway. Do you have any language packs installed? Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 FWIW, I'm in the midst of going back and forth with NI customer support just trying to get LabVIEW 2009 activated. This is on a laptop with a couple other versions of LV installed. I got it to activate just fine on a desktop (both computers running XP). But what is interesting is that NI keeps asking me if I have a desktop or laptop, as if this makes a difference for some reason. It sounds like others might be having problems with a laptop installation, also. No solutions, just an observation... (BTW, NI support has been very proactive about helping me with this.)

Cat FWIW???? The Vista x32 installation I tried above was on a Acer Core Duo Laptop. It's probably got more to do with multiple installations. I always have problems with activation since I have to do them manually and (for me) its not worth the aggro having multiple installations. Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 FWIW???? For What It's Worth In this case, I meant it's probably just coincidence, but if it helps anyone figure out the problem... Quote Link to comment

Anders Björk Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) It now solved with some more help from NI, it had to do with permission on folders in the folder "C:\Documents andSettings\[user name]\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\[Windows User ProfileGUID]". Possibly it had to do with the upgrade from Vista B. to Vista Ultimate. Edited September 17, 2009 by Anders Björk Quote Link to comment
