NI-RIO 4.0 as additional installer not installed

[Biker652]

I've converted my LabView project from 8.6.1 to 2011 SP1. The output of the project is an installer which includes additional installers like NI-RIO 4.0. This is to avoid installing these driver manually on the test PC. The test PC has a R-Series FPGA card. Only when I install the generated installer on the test PC the NI-RIO driver is not installed. Anything else seems to work fine (after manually installing this driver). Does anyone has an idea what can be wrong?

An add-on: When I start Measurement & Automation Explorer I see the NI-RIO 4.0 driver in the Software map. So it looks like it is installed but the NI PCI-7813R is not recognized by Windows 7.

Hello Biker,

Can you share an example project that shows how you configured the installer?

Side-questions:

In which order did you install everything?

Was your PCI-card already in the pc before you installed the application and driver?

Did you install only the RIO driver or also the support for the different platforms?

Do you see the card in the Device Manager?

Did you perform a reboot after installation of the installer?

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve the problem myself. I've added the Additional Installer "NI R Series 4.0" likely it isn't part of NI-RIO 4.0 anymore when you add it as an additional installer (but it is part of NI RIO when you install it from a DVD). I looked at it before but I overlooked the first time (before posting this my problem). .

Regards,

Biker
