updating the version of already existing hardware drivers for Windows 7

Solved!
Go to solution

I am needing to update our driver versions of NI-DAQmx, 488.2, and VISA on our test tower in order to accomodate our use of Windows 7 (64 bit with 32 bit WOWs).  I know which versions I need to accomplish this, but I have never installed NI hardware drivers outside of the basic LabView installation disc.  Do I simply download the driver .exe and run it or do I need other downloader programs as well?

Nothing else is required. You just download whatever driver you need.

Yep, just download and run the executables.  Alternatively, you could ask your local NI representative to get your a drivers disc.  Then you would be sure to have a good hard copy of the drivers you want to use.
