Uninstall Labview 8.5.1 and installing Labview 8.6 Questions

[Lucario1138]

Hi

I would like know if uninstalling LabVIEW 8.5 through windows uninstaller is fine to use and should I uninstall all of 8.5 including all of the other software so that 8.6 is put in clean.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing to do?

OR if there is a labview spacific uninstall

thanks in advance

Hello Lucario1138,

I am assuming that these questions are in relation to the FRC Software.

You can uninstall LabVIEW FRC 2009 by going to Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs.  In the window that pops up just scroll down to the National Instruments Software and hit the Change/Remove Button.  At that point our own uninstaller window will appear and allow you to select what you want to uninstall.  Find LabVIEW FRC 2009 in this list, select it, and hit the uninstall button.

So the short answer is that the Windows Uninstallation process will automatically call the NI Uninstaller to remove LabVIEW FRC 2009.

NOTE:  You do not have to uninstall LabVIEW FRC 2009 in order to install the 2010 version.  However, I do know that the license for 2009 expires very soon so having it installed will most likely not be worthwhile.

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks!

Bob
