Installing 2011 makes 8.2.1 fail (daqmx)

[Dan_P]

I have one last question. I distribute my applications as executables. If I install the Latest version of DAQmx will my 8.2.1 applications still work?

Hi Dan_P,

The problem here is for you to run an exe in another computer you need two main components: The LV Run Time Engine and the DAQmx Run Time Engine, and those are linked together in the same way that a developer system is linked to the drivers.

In general, If you want to take your LV 8.2.1 .exe file into another computer you’ll need to create a installer (or install separately) the LV RTE and the compatible DAQmx drivers for that version, but if your target computer already have a new DAQmx driver, you won’t be able to install the DAQmx driver in your installer, so you won’t have the drivers that the .exe needs to run.

Regards,
