Visa doesn't work in runtime environement, but does in development?

[eximo]

I have a vi that utilizes visa for accessing a comport associated with a serial port.

The vi works just fine in the development environment, but after I compile it, the vi's no longer can access the com ports.

any special trick necessary during the compile to ensure that the visa still works?

Hi,

does this behaviour occurs on the same computer ?

Best regards,

Problem solved, the runtime environment requires visa runtime drivers.  The developement environment requires different visa drivers.

My visa runtime environment drivers were out of date.

here are the visa driver updates for both environements

Happy hunting!
