LabVIEW Instalation problem

[Top24]

Hi, I'm having a huge and urgent problem...

I'm a student and I'm at a company that gave me LabVIEW 2012 to install in my computer, my problem is the following:

My CD's have written "NI Developer Suite 2012" I play the CD and it keep's saying it is 2012 but when I'm choosing the packages to install it only have 2011 packages and I installed loads of them and spent loads of time installing it and now only LabVIEW 2011 is installed... I need LabVIEW 2012 and I just can't install it 😕

Help please?

Very common misconception there.  If you have NI Developer Suite 2012 DS1, that has LabVIEW 2011 SP1 on it.  Developer Suite 2012 DS2 will have LabVIEW 2012 on it.  The latest Dveloper Suite set is 2013 DS1, which will have LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on it.

Crap ... I lost 6 hours of my life installing the wrong DVD because the company gave me it wrongly...

Thanks problem solved

Adding info to crossrulz' answer, NI says that this happens because the NI Developer Suite doesn't refer only to LabVIEW, but to a package of softwares, toolkits, etc, which don't necessarily are in the same version (step, build, etc).

Just to clarify, check this link if you want.
