Installing LabView on Intel Mac

[huge_apple_fangirl]

Does anyone know how to do this? When I try to do this it won't let me install it on "Macintosh HD". It says it can't be installed on this disk and PATCH_NO_PREREQUISITE_MESSAGE_FATAL.

What LabVIEW version are you trying to install and on what macOS version?
For 2022 Q3 Patch, there is a Note: “Please install 2022 Q3 before installing this patch.”

Hi! Thanks so much for replying, sorry I was busy and didn't answer. The patch is LabView 2021 SP1 f1

 

[bogdanw]

2021 SP1 is compatible only with macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 10.15 Catalina.
It will not work on macOS 12 Monterey.

Oh I see. Is there any version of LabView compatible with Monterey?

According to the page linked above, updated on 16 December 2022, only LabVIEW 2022 Q3 works on Monterey.

I see. I guess I need to downgrade from Ventura to Monterey.

I have downgraded to Big Sur and have installed Pro from a thumb drive, however I can't seem to find the application on my Mac even though it says it successfully installed. Is anyone familiar with this?

If you search LabView with Spotlight it doesn't find it?
Search with Spotlight on Mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/spotlight-mchlp1008/11.0/mac/11.0

That worked! Thank you for all your help!
