DAQmx uninstalled?

[kyle99]

I have the Labview professional development system installed on my computer
 (version 8.5) including DAQmx. I used the same machine to run my
application(executable) which uses an SCXI chassis and a number of cards. It ran fine,
butwhen I tried opening up the source code later it seems that DAQmx had been
uninstalled. The VIs cannot be found and DAQmx is no longer on the user
palette. Can you tell me why this happened and what the solution is? Do Ineed
to re-installDAQmx? Should I be running executables on the same machine that I have
installed the development system?

Did you use an installer for your executable?

There is a strange feature/bug whereby if you run an installer that has a cut down version of DAQmx (e.g. just the runtime + MAX) on a system with the full DAQmx package installed, it will remove the additional features that were not included in the installer.

A way around this is to not use the installer on your development machine (it shouldnt be necessary anyway as you will already have any appropriate runtime drivers)
