ivi.h not found in CVI 7.0

[test_man]

Hi,
I have a project which creates dll and this project works fine in CVI 6.0.
When I opened this project in CVI 7.0 I got ivi.h not found error.

Here is my file.
//////////////FILENAME.h////////////////////////////////
#include "cvidef.h"
#include "ivi.h"


int _VI_FUNC CALL_PETS (int number, int *data);
////////////////END OF FILE/////////////////////////////

Why is this happening?
What is the best way to fix this issue so that it will work in CVI 6.0 and 7.0?

Thanks for your help.

The IVI engine is installed from the Driver CD that comes with your CVI 7.0 package. Even though the two installers are linked, you can still run the installer from the Driver CD by itself. Just make sure that the "IVI Compliance Package" feature is selected.

Luis,
Thanks for your reply. So is this mean that I have to install driver cd when I install CVI 7? I did not install this CD when I was using CVI 6.
I guess I am still confused.
Can I just copy ivi.h file?
Thanks.

That is correct, you do need to run the installer from the Driver CD, if you are planning on using drivers (such as IVI). In CVI 6.0, IVI (and a few other things) was included in the main CVI installer.

You cannot just copy ivi.h, becuase you also need the library (ivi.lib) and a few other things required to create instrument drivers.
