Greetings fellow FIRSTers! My team is stuck at the moment because we're not able to create a robot project from the template at the Getting Started screen. It starts, but when the project is being created we get an error message saying that LabVIEW can't find the Dashboard Datatype.ctl file. Now, of note here is that our USB stick grew legs and wandered off before anything got installed on the laptop. I was able to download and install all the necessary components (LV2011, RT Module, PID & Fuzzy Logic Toolkit, Vision Development Module, NI-RIO 4.0, Internet Toolkit) on the laptop, along with the LV FRC 2012 update, the Utilities update, etc. So, I think I've got everything installed and activated. But, I still get this error.Can anyone shed some light on this?Thanks!

Unable to create robot project

OK, I found out what the problem was, NI-RIO 4.0 had been installed on the laptop before I got my hands on it. I installed LV and all the updates, but didn't reinstall RIO 4.0. After I did that we were off to the races, until I ran into my next problem, that of getting no outputs from cRIO! But, I'm going to make a new topic about that.
