LV8,5 Dev Suite install, error "Measurement Studio for VS2003 not installed""

[Matwelli]

Hi guys,

Installing LabVIEW 8.5 Developers suite, installed LV8,5 OK, but all otehr products (CVI, Studio, etc) come up with error messages as per attached photo, "measurement Studio for VSXXXX not installed"

When should I have installed this ? which DVD has this ?

Any help apreciated

Cheers

Do you want to install Visual Studio, CVI, etc.?  It looks like you are running the device drivers DVD, and must have told it to install All device drivers, rather than just the ones it determined you needed when it scanned your system.  So when it tries to install the device drivers for VS and CVI et al, it can't find that software on your PC.  If you want that software, they would be on other CD's in your Developer's suite package.  Install that, then run the Device Drivers DVD again.

If you only want to install Labview, rerun your DVD for your device drivers again, and only install the features that it wants.  I find the device drivers DVD takes a long time to initialize, and I believe that is because it is scanning your PC to detect what other National Instrument products you have installed so it can populate the list of what drivers you need to install.

Certain products, like Measurement Studio, depend on 3rd party software tools, such as Microsoft's Visual Studio in order to install (and run) properly. To avoid your problem, I always do a custom install and only select those products for which I I have already purchased and installed 3rd party tool support (where applicable).

Thanks for the replys. The thing is,I have brought the Developers Suite www.ni.com/suite/ ($7070 NZD),which includes the CVI toolkit  and a whole lot of other stuff, surely the required 3rd party software required should be included in the package ? Will give the install anther go, using default settings and see what happens

Hi Mathew,

Developer Suite does not include Visual Studio - a 3rd party application development environment sold by Microsoft (~ $799 for VS 2005 Professional). Are you using Measurement Studio? If not, you can just exclude those features when running the installer (as it seems you are already trying).

Regards,
