Why does LabVIEW take all day to install on one PC?

[teritask]

I hate when we build a standalone machine and the customer's IT department insists on putting stuff on it. 99% of the time the computer is NOT connected to the network or internet but they still have to weasel some "protective" software on it.

[DFGray]

Is your hard disk dying?  Slow performance is often the harbinger of death (especially if accompanied by occassional thunks as the drive tries to recalibrate itself).  We use McAfee and I can usually get LabVIEW and the driver CD on in under two hours.  I have a two year old PC, although it does have a RAID 5 disk system.

That said, if you have an older version of McAfee, that could be the issue.  McAfee updated their on-demand scanning a couple of years ago and made it much faster. 

[josborne]

I agree with you.  The latest version of LV is bloated. 

It installs tons of extra stuff that I don't use.  And all the components seems to be dependant on each others, so its hard to do a minimal install.  NI's release engineers need to work in this, IMHO.

And that pesky NI Update Service is a pain.

[teritask]

Yes, it is bloated...automatically installs packages that I don't want to activate after 30 days and then it's hard (and time consuming) to get rid of them after the fact. Luckily I don't have to do this that often.

[ruggedeye]

I'm installing Labview2018 on a brand new HP Spectre 360 (Intel i7, 8th Gen) and its still taking way more than 3 hrs (likely won't be complete before 10 hrs).

I'm on Google Fiber as well (1gbps).

This is, by far, the slowest (longest) software download I've encountered and I use a lot of downloadable S/W devel tools and devel env's

Why so long?

[nestorl]

Hi @ruggedeye,

Sorry to hear that your installation is taking longer than anticipated - it definitely should not take 10 hours to install. If you'd like to have us look into this further, I would recommend utilizing the Support channel by opening a Service Request at ni.com/support.

You are talking about "install" and "download" and it is not clear from thetcontext what's the limiting step.

Are you using the web based platform installer?

[bienieck]

I recently prepared clear OS for a new project. I installed TestStand+LabVIEW (I unchecked most of the recommended SW components for LabVIEW). I end up with 255 components installed!!! What would be the bare minimum? Can't I simply install additional components when they are needed and have better configuration management?

I have an install script for LV2018, several drivers and other component. Sometimes it runs in 2 hours, other times 24 hours. The main factor is if our Anti-Virus Software gets triggered. If it decided to inspect each file as it is copied and installed, it takes forever. 

I am experimenting with the LV2020 nipkg.exe installer. It seems to install very quickly on a virtual machine. Maybe 20 minutes.

Hope that helps.

[billko]

Maybe that's why all installers, LabVIEW included, always recommend disabling antivirus software before installing.
