I am trying to install Labview 2012 at UW, which has a site license. Not long ago, I installed successfully LabView 2012 on a Windows XP machine. Now I am trying on a new Windows 7 machine. I downloaded Core1of4.zip and LV_ENG.zip and extracted both of these into their respective folders in the Downloads folder. I then put the LV ENG folder under the Distributions folder of Core1of4.zip. I also tried just placing the contents of LV_ENG in the Distributions folder.
I applied for the activation code. It is the same as the one I used before. On running setup.exe, everything goes fine until it starts the actual installation. Immediately I get a message that a file is not found. This file is nidist.id. But nidist.id (lK) in present in the distributions folder. Where is it supposed to be?
I have tried various things, but get the same result. I have tried turning off the anti-virus software and the Windows firewall. What is going wrong? (Each time I have to start the activation process again from scratch. Is there some sort of limit to the number of times one can try?)
