Why doesn't the f2 patch of LV 2010 recognize the LV installation on my Windows 7 64-bit system?

[g_Ricky]

Hi All,

I've downloaded the f2 patch of LV2010 that is already installed on my PC and launched the setup.exe as described on the installation procedure but, unfortunately the f2 patch doesn't recognize the installation of LV and doesn't install itself. I've installed into my system also LV2012, can it be the problem? Is there a trick to install the patch and pass it the installation path manually?

Thank you to all.....

I doubt that the installer let you reinstall the f2 patch again over your already in place installation.....

You also need to be careful because there is a 64 bit and a 32 bit version of the patch.  The patch should match the LabVIEW version's bitness, not the OS bitness.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake.....

What I'd like to say is that I installed already Labview 2010 and I'd like to install the f2 patch to fix the some problem of it.

I've downloaded the 64-bit version of the patch, and I've got the 64-bit version of Windows 7....

What will I have to do more???

You would need LV 2010 64bit for this patch.

Another thing to take care of:

It makes a difference if you are running LV 2010 vs. LV 2010 SP1!

HINT: If your LV installation is located in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder, you are running LV 32bits. You can also check this in LV when opening the "About LabVIEW" window.

Ok you are right.

Currnently I'm running LV 2010 SP1 (32 bit). I checked it by the "About page" on Labview. Does the f2 patch fix the bugs of the LV2010 SP1?

Then this is the download page you should use.

There is a link to a document listing all addressed issues in 2010 SP1.
