Error -1073807202 Property Node (arg 1) in VISA configure serial port (Instr)

I get this message only when running the Labview executable I built and only on a computer that has just the Labview runtime engine (not the development environment).

How do I fix this?

Based on the meaning of the error code, I would first verify that the VISA drivers are installed.

Hi MrNatural,

I suspect that you've not installed VISA runtime engine on deployed machine.

Please download and installed the VISA runtime engine the same version as your development system, and install it on deployed machine.

Another way is to build your apllication as an installer, and select VISA for additional installer. 

Regards, Kate

Hello,

I think this Knowledge Base article will help provide you with more information for your error. One of the ways that I find most helpful to find more information about a given error is just to take the error code without the "-" sign and paste it into the search of ni.com .  I also concur that the best solution here would be to create an Installer along with your executable that has the VISA Run-time engine installed. Run your installer on your pc without labview. Then run your executable.

I have just installed labview 8.6 for the first time and recieved the same error when using the serial write and read to and instument; in this case, a HP 437b power meter.

The problem was solved when I downloaded the latest VISA package from the NI website and re-installed the VISA files; I can now see com port 4 which was installed when I hooked up the meter. Oh, by the way I am using a Prologix GPIB to USB converter to connect to my power meter; it was a great deal at only 134 bucks.

Install a compatible version of VISA on your deployment computer.  Ideally, you create an installer from your development computer for your application that includes the LabVIEW Runtime Engine and VISA.  I usually choose the VISA Runtime With Configuration Support or something similarly named so that I can mess around with things in MAX.

You seem to understand the solution above.  There's no way around it.
