NI VISA 14.0 runtime engine

[sushmith_ks]

Hello Everyone,

           I started with LabView full development system 2011 and updated to 2014 recently. Now I was trying to build my vi. When i was trying to create runtime engine when I select NI VISA 14.0 it is giving error saying " NI visa 14.0 media path not found". So i just tried to install runtime engine by downloading from ni.com, downloading was successful, but not able to install it. Am I doing anything wrong?

Hello everyone,

                If i'm not selecting VISA during run time engine creation my build file whatever i have created works fine in another computer ( but serial communication doesnt work since i have not added it while creating exe)

The installer build spec just needs a copy of the VISA 14.0 installer in order to add it to the installer for your application.  You do not need to reinstall it.  It should ask you where the distribution is.

Dear Sir,

          It is asking for media path when i try to add VISA 14.0. where can I find it?

It should be on the NI Device Driver disk that you would have used when you installed LabVIEW.

Alternatively you can choose to create installer for your program only (without selecting VISA in the installer build script). I guess you did this already. Then download also the NI-VISA Run-Time Engine 14.0 installer.

You can use these two installers (one for your code and the other one for the NI-VISA runtime engine) instead of the combined installer.

In many cases I prefer to build installers for my code only, particularly when the code is used on the same set of computers, i.e. the drivers are already installed.
