NI-FGEN installation

[tonys10]

I have FGEN installed and tried building on eof the examples using .NET 2003 with the following results


------ Build started: Project: niFgen_Arbitrary_Waveform_Ex, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Compiling...
StdAfx.cpp
c:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\VCNET\Examples\niFgen\niFgen_Arbitrary_Waveform_Ex\NiIncludes.h(18) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'NiCommonComponent.h': No such file or directory

Build log was saved at "file://c:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\Vcnet\Examples\niFgen\niFgen_Arbitrary_Waveform_Ex\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
niFgen_Arbitrary_Waveform_Ex - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped



The problem is that the installation of NI_FGEN and its dependencies did not install 'NiCommonComponent.h' anywhere...what did I miss????

Hey tonys10,
Sounds like you need to go to Control Panel>>Add or Remove Programs>> National Instruments Software (click change), choose NI-FGEN and choose "Modify". When you get into the installation process, you will see a tree list structure page titles "Features // Select the features to install". Be sure that you have the following features installed: 1. "Measurement Studio for Visual C++ .NET 2003" (we need this to install files into a certain directory) 2. "Microsoft Visual Basic Support". Hopefully one of these is the culprit. After you finish the installation, making any necessary changes, navigate to the directory mentioned in the compiler results. Be sure that the file mentioned is there, then re-run the example.

Let us know if you have further problems.
