No N_-DAQmx class library choice when I create a Visual C++ NI MFC Application.

[RPluth]

I'm new to both LabView and Measurement Stusio.  However, I have used Visual Studio 2005 before, mostly using C++.

In Visual Studio, I select File->New->Project.  In the New Project dialog box, I select a Visual C++, Measurement Studio, NI MFC Application.  When the 'Measurement Studio Visual C++ MFC Application Wizard dialog box pops up, there is no NI DAXmx Class Library choice.  Why?

I've installed the eveluation version of Measurement Studio.  When I look on my hard drive, I see the NIDAQmx.lib under C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\lib\msvc.  I'm assuming I've installed or configured something incorrectly, but don't know what.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
RP

Hi RP,

Do you have the NIDAQmx80.lib, NIDAQmxL80.lib, etc static libraries located in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2005\VCNET\Lib directory? When you installed the DAQmx driver (which should have been after installing Measurement Studio), my guess is that you didn't check the Measurement Studio for Visual Studio C++ 2005 Support. This will install the appropriate templates and static libraries. If you tried to select this option without installing Measurement Studio, the installer should tell you that Meausrement Studio isn't installed after clicking Next.  So essentially you need to repair the DAQmx driver and make sure to select that option.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Your suggestion was right on!  And quick, too!  NI's response in these forums is timely and invaluable.

Keep up the good work.
