I have uninstalled labview fall 2013, it has to be this one because of the University, and I cant install it again. When I try to instal it, it skips the LabView installation and only installs the Package Manager. I already removed manually all the files related to the software and even runned regedit and eliminate all National Instruments files too. Can anyone help me about this situation?
I have some "bad news" for you. Around 2018, NI changed how its software was installed by introducing NI Package Manager, which was the "Installer" program. Prior to that, each version of NI came with its own Installer that installed that particular version of the software, including LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real Time, LabVIEW Vision, DAQmx, and Drivers (plus, of course, lots of other bits and pieces). If you wanted to install a later version of LabVIEW (for example, LabVIEW 8.2 "on top of" LabVIEW 7.0), you just got out the CDs for 8.2 and let it install, leaving LabVIEW 7.2 on the disk. When building a PC "from scratch" with those two versions, you installed "oldest first", then newer versions.
NIPM changed that (to my chagrin). It also taught me an important "lesson" about uninstalling LabVIEW. I've posted (about every six months) the (only, I think) safe way to uninstall LabVIEW (which involves using Control Panel to remove "National Instruments" software) and cautions against deleting NI Files and Folders using Task Manager, with a warning to not use regedit to "clean the Registry". I did that, and discovered that this can corrupt Windows in such a way that you have to reformat (wipe) the C: drive, reinstall Windows, other Software, and your Files and Folders.
I hope you've backed up you work. Based on my experience, you are unlikely to successfully install LabVIEW on the PC you've described. To install LabVIEW 2013, you will need to get a "Distribution Kit" for LabVIEW 2013 and install it on a machine that does not yet have newer versions of LabVIEW installed. It will also probably not successfully install on the computer you described.
