I am using Windaqs DI 158-U data acquisition with labview 8.6, which work fine on my applications computer. But when I create an install file and try running the program on another computer,Labview doesn't seem to communicate with the windaq unit

Hi Russellg,

As the data acquisition unit that you are using is not manufactured by NI, we do not really support it. However, what I can guess from the description of your problem is that your installer must be missing the source distribution driver for your DAQ device. It needs the installer file for your device--so you should either insert your driver CD and let it acquire the driver installer files from there or copy the CD contents to your hard drive and specify that location in the additional installers section. Hope this helps.
