[Windows XP - Labview 8.21 - DAQmx 8.7 - MAX 4.4.1]
Hello,
I am trying to define the minimal installer package to install DAQmx RT on several clients stations. The things that the clients' stations must be able to do are:
- Running an Labview 8.2 compiled program that has: DAQmx functions
- Adding and editing channels and tasks in MAX
Using Labview 'additional installers' in project explorer I have first installed all varieties of 'Runtime 2' type of DAQmx 8.7 (beside MAX 4.4.1) and had always the same issue: I could go into MAX but was not able to add a task or a channel (create new by right-clicking in Data neighbourhood lead to an empty window). I have tried to add Visa, DAQ legacy,... to the Runtime 2, no success. I have even tried to install the MAX alone (from the folder coming from the original DAQmx 8.7 CD) but that did not improve.
Then I have selected the option 'Runtime' instead of 'Runtime 2' for DAQmx 8.7 and MAX works now as expected, I am able to edit and create new tasks and channels. But this does not answer my question which is: how do I build my minimal installer to perform the two tasks of executing a Labview 8.2 application with DAQmx functions in it and having a complete MAX interface.
What is the problem with MAX that impedes me to edit/add? What component am I am missing?
Thanks for all your insights,
Christophe
