Peter;
Since you had installed the same copy of Labview before, the CD is probably in good shape.
Things you can try:
- Double check if you are logged on with administrator privilegies. If you are not, try to install Labview from an administrator account
- There was a problem with the Labview installer that is reported as fixed, that stated that error 1639 would show up if one tries to type double quotes (") in the Organization Field during the install. Double check if you are doing that
Other than those two, you can try to install the same copy on a different machine to see if the same error shows. If it doesn't, there is something wrong with the installation of the OS on the machine that is giving you the error.
Hope this helps.
