NI Digital Electronics FPGA Board Driver Windows 7 64-bit

[NicB]

It appears the latest driver for the FPGA board had not been developped for Windows 7 64 bit (http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2166/lang/en).

What about the rest of us having such a platform?

Is there any trick to convince the platform to accept this driver?

Thanks

Typically these will install with the Windows-on-windows where a 64 bit Windows system can install 32 bit programs. Try the installation and see if it works.

We're aware of the issue and plan on supporting Windows Vista and Windows 7 64-bit in the next release.  Unfortunately, due to some issues, 3.1 will not work for 64-bit Windows versions (while BenJ is correct, in this case a component we depend on did not work with the WOW64 framework that supports 32-bit binaries interacting with 64-bit drivers)

Hi BradM,

I also have a 64-bit Windows 7, I'm wondering if the LabVIEV FPGA Module that can run on this system has already been realeased?

thx!

ron3721,

Yes, the version of the driver released that supports LabVIEW 2011sp1 and later have the changes required to work on a 64-bit Windows system. I believe the number of the release that supports 2011sp1 is 4.3, although the download page/requirements/Readme should be consulted

Hey ron3721,

It has indeed. We have 2 versions that will work, and the one that you want depends on what version of LabVIEW you have. If you use 2011 SP1, you will want the 4.3 driver, and if you use 2012 you will want the 5.2 driver.
