National Instruments hosts the LabVIEW installation files on their website. If you don't already have a login for their site then sign-up for one. You will need your email address, mailing address and a phone number. Once you are logged in you can visit the LabVIEW product page and follow the links to download/evaluate LabVIEW. If you already use LabVIEW then select the option for 'current LabVIEW user'; this will limit the number of phone calls you get from the sales team. The core LabVIEW system is almost 2GB now, so make sure you have a good internet connection and available time before you start the download. The first file downloaded is a small executable that will require permission to be installed. Once this file is executed it will pop-up a window that shows the LabVIEW download progress. Once the complete LabVIEW installer is successfully downloaded, you can move on to the next step of installing LabVIEW.
