I have a PCI-1422 I want to run from a Windows 7 64-bit system. But I want to use an old version of Vision Software (specifically v6.0) which I have a license for (I don't have a license for the current version of the Vision software -- so if I install the current version of the Vision software, the controls run in Evaluation mode which is insufficient for my application). I can install NI Vision Acquisition Software 2009.11 and the hardware will work, but this also installs cwimaq.ocx v9.0 which I don't have a license for. I tried installing my licensed, older version of Vision to overwrite cwimaq.ocx v9.0 with v6.0, but it just doesn't happen. The registry and VB still insist I use v9.0.
I've tried manually registering the cwimaq.ocx v6.0 and even though I can do this and the computer tells me all is well, VB still trys to use v9.0, even if I selectv6.0 from its Components list. Either I've messed up and not done what I thought I was doing -- or this manual registering thing was just not the way to go.
Naturally, my application is a VB6 application, so I've also installed Visual Studio onto the Win 7 system. (It is not crashing, but it was clear from the messages during install that microsoft does not consider VB6 to be supported on a Win 7 platform.)
Has anyone else tried this?
Anyone know where within the 2009.11 package the .inf driver for the PCI-1422 resides so I could extricate that and upgrade the hardware driver manually without ever installing cwimaq.ocx v9.0?
Other ideas?
Thank you,
Michelle
