Problem while installing IMAQ VISION 1.0

[JR2104]

Hello
I have some problems while installing IMAQ VISION 1.0 for ComponentWorks. I want to use IMAQ VISION by Visual Basic 6.0.

First the facts:
Operating System is Win NT 4.0.
Visual BAsic 6.0 is istalled.
A PCI-1407 framegrabber hardware and a CCIR camera is installed.
NI-IMAQ version 2.5.1 is also installed (with core components for Visual BAsic) an the camera´s pictures are ok using MAX.

Now the problem:
While installing IMAQ VISION 1.0 using IMAQ VISION´s setup program, setup shows two error messages.

The first is:
DlgcacWinName: _INS5176._MP ordinal number not found.
Ordinal number 6877 not found in DLL "MFC42.dll"

The next is:
Severe: Unable to register C.\Winnt\System32\CWIMAQ.DLL

When I try to
run existing Visual Basic code (using IMAQ VISION 1.0 objects) I get
the message "Unlicensed Product, This unlicensed copy of IMAQ Vision may be used for demonstration
purposes only!"

That´s not correct, IMAQ VISION 1.0 is existing as a legal and registered Software.

Peculiar is, that in the Visual Basic project´s component list IMAQ VISION is available
in vesion 6.0 (NI CW IMAQ 6.0). I think it should be NI CW IMAQ 1.0!

What´s wrong? Who can help?

Thank you JR

First, I'm not sure what version of the IMAQ Vision for Measurement Studio had the NI CW IMAQ 1.0 so that would be helpful. What I suspect is happening is that the NI-IMAQ 2.5.1 driver installs an evaluation version of the Vision CW's (CWIMAQViewer and CWIMAQVision). If you installed the Vision toolkit then it would license them, but since you are getting errors on the installation I don't think that it is able to do this. Which is why you have NI CW IMAQ 6.0 which came with NI-IMAQ and not NI CW IMAQ 1.0. I'm not sure why you are getting the installation errors but it would be a good idea to upgrade to the latest Vision toolkit and this would probably solve your problem as well. Otherwise, you could go to www.ni.com/ask and generate a phone support request and sp
eak to an applications engineer.
