Installing DAQmx 9.1.1 with LabView 8.2, but DAQ-related libraries don't appear

Hi,

I noticed you had other modules installed. Are you able to access other modules like your NI-IMAQ VI's?

[MaryamAli]

Yes, I can access the NI-IMAQ VI's.

Hi,

I need a few screenshots from you. Go to Control Panel> Add and Remove Programs> National Instruments. Once the National Instruments Software Window opens, select NI-DAQmx ADE Support and then click on Modify. Expand everything and attach screenshots of what is there.

Thanks!

Also, attach the contents in the Installation Logs folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\Installation Logs

Here are the files you asked for.

Hi Maryam,

It looks like DAQmx 9.4 was not uninstalled completely. I will need you to try the following:

1. Uninstall DAQmx 9.1.1.

2. Reinstall DAQmx 9.4 using the Command Window. The directions are below.

1. Open up a Command Line Window

2. Type: cd <Path to the folder that has DAQmx 9.1.1 Setup executable> 

*Note: There is a space between cd and the file path. 
3. Press Enter. You should see the path change.
4. Type: Setup.exe /reinstall /log reinstallLogFile.txt 
*Note: There is a space after Setup.exe, /reinstall and /log. 
5. Press Enter. This should run the reinstall for DAQmx and create a log file in the same folder as Setup.exe called reinstallLogFlie.

3. Uninstall DAQmx 9.4

4. Reinstall DAQmx 9.1.1 using the Command Window. See directions above.

5. Open LabVIEW and see if the DAQmx VIs are there. If not, attach the installation log files that were created by the reinstall and MAX Technical Report.

In step 2, do you mean "Type: cd <Path to the folder that has DAQmx 9.4 Setup executable> "?

[MaryamAli]

In case you meant "install NIDAQmx 9.4" in step 2: the downloaded installer file is named "NIDAQ94of5.exe". Do I have to run this file before I can get the appropriate "Setup.exe" file?

[Rohama_K · Accepted solution]

Sorry for the confusion. The executable you are talking about should create a folder that has a Setup.exe in it after running it. For the first reinstall,it should be for DAQmx 9.4. The second reinstall should be for DAQmx 9.1.1. Let me know if the directions are still unclear.

Thanks for your help! The DAQ-related files have installed correctly.
