When I try to install the UL for LabVIEW a error message pops up "The selected directory does not contain a valid installation of LabVIEW". However LabVIEW 6 or later is already installed:

The installation looks for the installation directories and versions of LabVIEW. To determine the path of the LabVIEW installation, the installation checks the 'Path' entry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW\CurrentVersion
The installation checks that there is a file named 'Labview.exe' at the location pointed to by 'Path'.

If the installation is not picking up the correct path to your installation of LabVIEW, please click the Browse button and browse to the folder containing the file Labview.exe

If you are running an evaluation version of LabVIEW, it may be necessary to temporarily rename the executable from e.g. 'LabVIEW 7.1 Evaluation.exe' to 'Labview.exe'
