Yesterday I created a *.exe file of my VI to test its functionality on another computer.My VI uses Visa Read and Write to communicate with an external Microcontroller which is connected via USB. On the computer where Lbview 7.0 is installed the VI works flawlessly communicating with the Microncontroller. On the other computer which I wanted to use I first installed the USB device using the driver, it now recognises the USB device and it appears in the Device Manager list as to be working fine. The name of the device also pops up when I connect it. But when I install and run the VI on this computer it cannot find the USB device,at the beginning I use Visa Find to look for devices with the following addresses " USB0::0x04D8::0x0011::NI-VISA-[0-9]*::RAW" This search returns no results, thats how the USB device was being found on my original computer.I also installed Labview Runtime Engine 7.0 on the other computer. If anyone has any ideas as to why it can't see the USB RAW device let me know, maybe it has something to do with how I'm searching for it? Maybe its being assigned a totally different name ?

I stripped down the NI-Visa package and discovered which installer places the drivers in the sys32 folder, now it works perfectly, NIViaruntime.msi is the name of it.

Thanks for the replies.
