LabVIEW 2010 issues

[Magma]

Yesterday I downloaded LV 2010 (32 and 64 bit versions) and the August 2010 drivers and installed on a dual-boot test system running 32-bit Windows XP and 64-bit Windows 7. Installation went smoothly enough, but MAX takes forever to load, and then hangs or returns any of several error messages. Removed LV (8.6.1, 2009 SP1 and 2010) and tried a clean reinstallation: same results. Will try again with the Feb 2010 drivers and see if there's any improvement.

What MAX version installed?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am also experiencing issues with LabVIEW 2010. I installed LabVIEW, the RT module, the FPGA module, and Mathscript RT (+a bunch of toolkits) yesterday. I've noticed that quitting LabVIEW results in:

OpenSSL Fatal Error:

OPENSSL_Uplink(092AE000,07):no OPENSSL_Applink

When I continue, it's followed up by another error message:

"The instruction at "0x01e59c2b" referenced memory at "0x0a582108". The memory could not be "read".

This happened twice, but I just opened and closed LabVIEW two more times, and haven't seen the error. Also, without the error at close, it looks like it has remembered some of my settings (auto tool selection off, rearranged right-click palettes). Not sure what's going on, but just thought I'd post in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

For reference, I have MAX 4.7 and NI-DAQmx 9.1 installed on 32bit XP. I'm just about to install 9.2. I haven't noticed any extraordinary delays when launching MAX.

Went from MAX 4.6.2 to 4.7. It seems a corrupted MAX database was involved (KnowledgeBase article 4GA9TOQA) and after following the reset procedure in that article I was able to get 2009 SP1 up and running with MAX 4.6.2 again. Currently reinstalling 2010 with 4.7 to see what happens. Not sure if I can run different MAX versions with different LV versions, so am installing 4.7 for both, and will see what happens.

Resetting the MAX database worked for the XP case, but for the Win 7 x 64 I needed a clean install after removing LabVIEW and deleting the remaining LabVIEW directories because the OS refused a number of permissions (although operating from an administrator account). Maybe if I knew more about Windows 7 I could have avoided this. Not the best upgrade experience. I'll hold off on testing 2010 on my working PXI for a while.

In Windows 7 you may want to turn User Account Control (UAC) off during your install. It's in the security menu. Maybe it's just superstition on my part but it does control access even while using an admin account. Disabling it means the Labview install can do whatever it needs to.

Edit

FYI, I've been running LV2009 64 bit on Win 7 64-bit for several months. XP 64-bit was a failure with Labview. Win 7 seems OK.
