ao and ctr vi libraries in labview 8

I have  a vi that was written in LabView 7.  It uses numerous sub-vi's from the ao and ctr libraries.  I recently tried to run it on a comp running LabView 8 and it was unable to locate any of these sub-vi's as well as several dll's.  Is there a way to install these sub-vi's in LabView 8 so that this program will run?

It sounds like you are using the Traditional DAQ drivers in the program. These do not get installed when you install the drivers from the LabVIEW 8 driver CD. You can still download and install them from this page. If you are using an older DAQ board that is not supported by the new DAQmx driver, this would be the best way to go.

If you're DAQ board is supported by DAQmx, (all E and M series and many others), you'd be better off converting your application to use the new DAQmx VIs. If you installed the software from the LabVIEW 8 Drivers CD, you already have these installed. These really are easier to use and actually work better "under the hood".

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Thank you, this fixed the problem.  I had assumed that these drivers would be installed with LabView 8.  I guess my programs are older than I realize...
