LabView 2020 (64-bit) Installation - stalls while installing the Database Connectivity Toolkit

[ckillian]

Just getting ready to start learning LabView.

I am installing on a Windows 10 Pro system, build 1903, with latest updates installed as of 31 MAY 2020.

The installation proceeds normally until the installer says that it's installing the Database Connectivity Toolkit. At that point it just stalls. Been that way for about an hour at this point.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Could you tell me how to solve the problem。

I have the same problem with LabVIEW 2020 on a Windows 10 Pro system, build 2004, with latest updates installed as of 05 October 2020. Before, LabVIEW 2018 was installed on the same machine.

Hi Chuck, 

NI recommends that unless you require the additional memory of the 64 bit version, that you stick with the 32 bit version.

This article relates specifically to the database toolkit on 64 bit LabVIEW:

Hope this helps.

I had a Microsoft database engine (2010) installed on the PC required by an old application. I had to uninstall it, before installing LabVIEW (64bit) with the database connectivity toolkit.Then it worked without any further problems. After that, I reinstalled the Access database engine again and everything worked fine.
