One of these installers is causing major issues including rendering the target PC NON-BOOTABLE!!!
NI-VISA
NI-488.2
NI-Serial
LabVIEW2020 Runtime
One of these Installers raised a bunch of "Unsigned Driver" warnings during installation. I ignored them because most were for PXI based instruments and we don't have any of those in our system.
One of these installer also CLOBBERED THE WINDOWS BOOT FILES on TWO test systems.
IT IS REPEATABLE!!!!
Today to save time I just backed up all the files and installed Windows 10 on the target machines.
I ran the exact same installer I built on Friday and it did not throw any of the unsigned driver errors or clobber the boot files on Windows 10 like it did on Windows 7.
Interesting. I was poking around my installer to see just what was being installed, and it seems that the PXI drivers are dependencies for all those drivers you mentioned. I wonder if that's right? Why would any of those need to have the PXI drivers installed? (Note that you cannot uncheck the box in "manual" mode.)
