DCDAug07.exe Damaged ZIP File

[ap8888]

I'm running LabView Evaluation 8.5, and my Instrument I/O Assistant was not working (the error message said that I have to use the Driver CD to  install the Assistant).

I found the Driver CD online (NI Device Drivers 20007.08) and downloaded it. But when I extract the EXE, I get the error message:

"ZIP damaged: file C:\National Instru.... Possible Cause: file trasfer error."

(See the attached image for the error dialog)

What could be cause of this and how do I install the Instrument I/O Assistant?

Thank you,
Alex

Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone experienced this problem when trying to intall I/O Assistant?

Hi Alex,

After you installed the evaluation version of LabVIEW 8.5 did you install the DAQmx 8.7 driver?  If not, you need to download it and install it.  I'm not sure why you are getting the download error, but in any case, that device driver CD has more then what you need.  Go to this link, download DAQmx 8.7.1 and install it.  This will automatically install NI-VISA and 488.2 as well as NI-Serial.  There are the drivers you will need to Instrument I/O.  Thanks.

My needs in terms of Instrument I/O are not the drivers themselves but the Instrument I/O function. It fails to launch from my functions palette.

I redownloaded the file and will post here if any problems occur.

Thanks,
Alex
