As LabVIEW has become more "complex" (and drifting from a "one version per year" to a "continuous update"), installing a myRIO system has become more difficult. While I found installing a LabVIEW 2019 LabVIEW + myRIO system fairly straight-forward, I completely failed to subsequently install the LabVIEW 2021 version of the LabVIEW + myRIO code, possibly because it wasn't released until LabVIEW 2022 came out.
In the process of trying to install LabVIEW 2021, I did numerous trials of installing LabVIEW 2019 + myRIO 2019, which always worked. I also took notes, which I can probably condense and post here.
But first, tell me about your system.
- What version of Windows are you running? [It should be Windows 10, 64-bit].
- What version of LabVIEW are you running? [It should be LabVIEW 2019 (or 2019 SP1), 32-bit.]. If there are additional LabVIEW versions installed, what are they? Is the LabVIEW installation a "Base', "Full", "Professional", or "Academic" version? Do you have a way of activating the LabVIEW 2019 version you will be installing?
- Please open MAX. Expand the Software entry under My System and provide a screen shot of all of the software listed.
- Plug in the myRIO. Expand the Remote Systems and provide a screen shot of the devices detected. If one is your myRIO, try to expand the Software tab and provide a screen shot of all the software listed. Also provide a screen shot of the main panel on the right for the myRIO.
Once I see what you have, I'll be better able to suggest a path for you to take.
