NIMax.exe - Entry Point Not Found - attempt to create task in MAX

Solved!
Go to solution

I have two different cards that use NI-DAQmx: PXI-4461 and PXI-6259. They are installed in a PXI-1031 chassis with a PXI-8105 controller. Both devices pass their self-test in MAX. When I try to create a new task for either, I get first the expected selection dialog:

 

MAX PXI-6259 create-task prompt.gif

 

After I select "Analog Voltage" (or any other item), I get the following error:

 

MAX PXI-6259 create-task entry point not found.gif

 

Last week, I upgraded my HSDIO driver for a PXI-6562, which led me to upgrade NI-DAQmx to 9.2.3, and subsequently repair both installations in Windows to get them working (see this forum thread).

 

Task creation used to work. The system still recognizes the one task that I created weeks ago for the PXI-4461.

 

Here is a screenshot of my current software versions:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I solved this problem by downloading and installing NI-DAQmx 9.3.0. This, in turn, caused the problem from the post that I linked above, which I fixed by choosing "repair" in the Windows control panel for 1. the HSDIO driver, and then 2. the NI-DAQmx driver. The order matters. Now it seems to be working.
