LabView 30 Day evaluation - no programm

[Stefan22]

I've just installed the LabView 8 30 days evaluation software on my private machine - after the successfull download.Anyway I'm not able to find any main programm/icon to start the Lab View - The national instruments folder is on my machine in the start menu (XP), but there is only a help icon in the LabView8 subfolder ! Is there any special procedure to make the evaluation software running e.g. activation ? Thanks for  you help.

Hello Stefan,

thank you for choosing National Instruments products.
There isn’t any special procedure to make the evaluation software running.
Could you please run the LabVIEW.exe from:
C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0.

Here are a lot of information about LabVIEW evaluation software:

unfortunately - I have no .exe in this directory ! And there is no labview.exe in the subdirectories -

Otherwise during the installation I got an error message:

Error 1402 : Could not open key : Hkey_local machine\software\classes\lvdb.application\clsid.

Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

...in this case I continued the installation - but I have no idea why I have this error message ?

What key ??

Hello Stefan,
The error is not related to National Instruments, this error is coming from Windows.
Please see the following page this would be very helpful:
