No serial port at max

Refering to the attached images, i have a VI using serial port which i have already programmed in 1 PC. After i've installed LV and DaqMX on the 2nd PC and try to run this VI, it doesn't work. Then i realised the 2nd PC does not have Serial port detected at MAX->Devices.

What could be the problem?

I'm using LV 8.2 eval and DaqMX 8.5

Take a look into the software-folder in MAX. If you installed a default installation from one of NIs ADEs (e.g. LabVIEW), the driver-CD is installed after the ADE. The driver-CD contains NI VISA....

hope this helps,

Make sure the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\NIvisa exists and contains the file visaconf.ini.  I had a computer where the folder was never created, and then VISA failed to detect any serial ports.  As soon as I created the folder and restarted MAX, visaconf.ini was automatically created and the serial ports were there.
