VMIC's Driver Cannot Be Installed In Labveiw 8.0 RT?

[delvin]

Hi, everyone!

 I got a problem when I install the driver of VMIC's Reflective Memory card 5565 in the evironment of Labview 8.0 RT. With the driver that downloaded from the link :

 http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E919C659CE034080020E748...

I install it into my remote PC as a RT target. I configured the targer pc, installed the Labview RT. But when I install this driver into the RT target as guided by the "readme.doc" born with it, problems appeared.

  In the section " .INF File Installation" paragraph 3 it said:

     

For LabVIEW Real-Time, install the appropriate .inf file to the RT-Series PXI controller using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).  Select the target RT system under “Remote Systems” and select the Software properties tab.  Right-click anywhere in the Software window and select “Choose new install Script . . .”.  Select the desired script file under C:\Program Files\National Instruments\RT Images\VMIC-5565_x\1.1\installE002.rts and click "OK".  Follow any installer prompts to complete the installation. You must reboot the RT target system for the installation to take effect.

But I right-clicked " anywhere in the Software window" and no short-cut menu turnned up, not to mention "select ' Choose new install Script...'". Therefore the driver cannot be installed into the target and in MAX of host computer no device detected in Remote System folder.

I noticed that the driver , even downloaded from logo of " Labview 8.0", has the same contents with that from "Labview 7.0". So, is it the problem that with something todo with the Labview's version? Or in another word, how to install the third party driver into the RT target in Labview 8.0 RT?

It's really a very erging thing and I'll appreciate much if you can help! Thank you !

Transfer V65_d_RT.inf or v65_n_RT.inf file into RT-deskotop machine manually using ftp. See note on below. You can use MAX tool to that, go on your Remote system and right click file transfer. This work on LabVIEW 8.20.

v65_n_RT.inf:

this problem was compromised by negelecting it and "pulling" new created shared-variables however, it's obviously unliable. what's worse , I found the project I have accomplished usually cannot work and should be opened for a second time. ---It's fatal when creating a stand alone application, you know. 

My e-mail is: lx830820@yahoo.com.cn, I am very gratefull that you can help!!

thanks a lot !
