Issue Details

I am using MATLAB® and I am tryting to setup the HDL Coder Support Package for NI FPGA Hardware but I receive an error message about missing support for LabVIEW 2025. 

The error is:
Error using hdlsetuplabviewversion_impl
Specified LabVIEW 2025 or LabVIEW FPGA 2025 support is not installed.

 

Solution

The issue may be related to an incomplete or mismatched installation of LabVIEW 2025 or the LabVIEW 2025 FPGA Module. This article talks about LabVIEW 2025 but it can happen to other versions. Please check the following steps to resolve the issue.

  1. Installation Verification
    Check the presence of the following Windows registry entries to confirm correct installation by going to the Start menu and type regedit
    • For LabVIEW 2025 please check the entries below:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW\
    • For LabVIEW FPGA Module 2025 please check the entries below:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW\AddOns\FPGA
  2. Repair installed components:
    Try performing a repair using NI Package Manager for the following components. For detailed description please see the Repair Software in NI Package Manager (NIPM) article.
    • LabVIEW 2025
    • LabVIEW 2025 FPGA Module
    • IP to FPGA Conversion Utility 2025 Q4
  3. Version compatibility check
    In NI Package Manager verify that the following versions are installed and aligned:
    • HDL Coder Support Package: Version 25.8
    • IP to FPGA Conversion Utility: 2025 Q4 
    • Any version mismatch between these components may cause the observed issue.
  4. Clean reinstallation (if needed)
    In rare cases some files may have been manually replaced. To rule out file corruption:
    • Uninstall the HDL Coder Support Package
    • Reinstall the latest supported version
  5. Validation test
    After completing the above steps:
    1. Restart MATLAB
    2. Rerun the setup command
    3. Confirm whether the issue persists
