I can't install NI-DAQmx API for my CVI 7.0

[marlon88ca]

After I installed CVI 7.0, I installed the NI-DAQ 7.3 on my computer with Windows 2000.
However, I was told that NI-DAQmx API for CVI could not be installed because I don't have a CVI 7.0 or higher version on my computer!
I tried several times, uninstalled and reinstalled all NI-DAQ 7.3 and CVI 7.0. However, the problem is still there.
Could anybody help me please?

Thank you!

Hello,

This is strange, what I need to see is a log of the DAQ install, you don't actually have to install to get the log.

When you run the DAQ install use the following command line:

Setup.exe /costlog /l*v "c:\DAQInstLog.txt"

Go until you get the message about not having the correct version of CVI and then cancel the installation. You should have a file where specified above, please send me that file so I can find out what is happenging here.

Thanks,

Hi, Jeff:

Please see the attachments. "DAQInstLog1.txt" is got when I chose "not continue" and "DAQInstLog2.txt" for choosing "continue". They look same.

BTW, I didn't have any problem when I installed CVI and DAQ on my Windows XP laptop without any card on it. I have the problem on my Windows 2000 IBM desktop with a PCI-6110 on it.
I tried many times for all possibilities I could guess, such as install sequence. Actually, I did the same thing on both computers.

Thank you very much!

Marlon,

This is what I see from the logs, and this is an issue we have fixed for DAQ 7.4. You installed CVI 7.1 on this machine at one time, it could have been the Eval or something. This is faking out the installer.

What you need to do is remove the registry keys under HKLM\Software\National Instruments\CVI\7.1 and the 7.1 key itself. This will allow DAQ to find the correct version of CVI when it installs.
