missing DAQmx folder in vi.lib

[bmihura]

I tried installing LabVIEW 8.2.1 and its requested device driver disks on a computer without any DAQmx device, and no DAQmx folder is placed inside vi.lib.

As a result, one of my LabVIEW programs won't compile. Is there a way to trick the installer into putting the DAQmx folder into vi.lib even though there is no DAQ device there? Simply copying the DAQmx folder from another computer doesn't work.

There is no requirement to have hardware installed. I have no DAQ devices on this pc and and DAQmx installed just fine. I've done the install on many computers without any hardware. Was this a fresh install and what OS are you using? Does MAX indicate that DAQmx is installed? If it does and it's listed in the National Instruments section of Add/Remove programs, try doing a repair first and if that does not work, uninstall and do the DAQmx install again.
