Installer 2011 SP1 asking for LV 2010 SP1 DVD when including DAQmx MAX configuration support 9.5.5 why?

[ssherian]

I am creating an installer in LabVIEW 2011 SP1 for an application programmed in the same version 2011 sp1.  I try to include the DAQmx MAX configuratyion support 9.5.5 to ensure installing NI device drivers and MAX along with my application, it is asking me to have the following media available to create installer.

1- LabVIEW 2010 SP1 Platform DVD1

2- NI Device Drivers- Feb 2012

3- NI-DAQmx 9.5.5

I have 2 and 3 but 1 I downloaded from internet since I don't have the DVD.  I unzipped it to a folder on the desktop and when i try to select that folder i get the following message.

What's the difference and why am I being asked for 2010 SP1 when I have my application in 2011 SP1.

Thanks,

SS

The issue is that when building an installer the system duplicates your installation exactly- including the precise release that you have installed. Did you ever have 2010SP1 installed?

Yes.  So does this mean if i keep upgrading my LV version it will keep asking for previous versions of LV DVDs to build an installer suppose in a couple of years when I am using LV2014?

If you don't install new versions of the drivers with later versions of LV, you are correct. Hang onto the disks...

If you notice I had tried it with DAQmx 9.5.5 which is the drivers with LV2012.  I keep updating the new version of the drivers everytime i install the new LV version. However, it is still asking me for the 2010.  Is there some sort of linking i have to do in MAX or compiling or anything?  At this point i'm thinking there might be some VI's that are saved in the 2010 version and I'm still u sing them.  is there a way to find out what versions are my vi's running?

Thanks,

Try doing a mass compile on all your code. That will recompile everything in the latest version. Is LV2010SP1 still installed on the PC?

Yes 2010 is still installed.  I did mass compile.  multiple times specially after updatin ghte DAQmx drivers, still no luck.  I am using a sound and vibration vi from the SV toolkit i had purchased in 2010 but didn't upgrade it with the new version of LabVIEW is it possible that's causing this problem? 

[mikeporter]

Yes. It is very possible.
