Problems including the ni4882.h file into an msvc++ 2010 project

[Danny_Q]

Hello,

I am writing a software for remote control of GPIB Products and I'm using the NI488-2 Driver v2.7.3. (Newer version havn't been installed yet due our EDV is overloaded)

I am writing the software with the language C++/CLI (Windows Forms) of Visual Studios 2010. Is there a way to include the ni4882.h file into this project?

I tried linking the 4882.obj file but that didn't work out and I don't have the NI .NET interface available due there wasn't an DLL for .NET reference installed together with the driver.

Any suggestions what I can try or is it just not possible?

Greetings,

When installing NI-488.2 you need to choose to include support for .NET

Ah ok that could explain it. Then I have to talk to our EDV to fix this. Thank you 🙂

OK, our EDV didn't manage to install the .NET support, so I still don't have the dll. Today I tried to call the ni4882.h and .obj file by including the folders with those two in the linker (additional dependencies) and the additional include directories, but everytime I tried to compile it I got the error message:

LNK1104: The file "ni4882.obj" could not be opened.

Do I need to have administrator rights to call the ni4882.obj file in C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\lib64\msvc ?

Any suggestions what I can try?

Best Regards and thanks for fast help,
