VB and NI-DAQ Card

[LMI]

I find an older NI DAQ 8.01 in my company directory. Do you think its worth installing this on the Windows 7 PC?

I am totally convinced that this is a driver issues. When I load it on other XP machine it behaves the same way as my earlier issues. I even went out to the NI site and downloaded the latest drivers and software for the NI 6525 USB External card and it gave me the same issues.

What I have on my VM XP that is working with any other PC's that are running XP

I don't think putting the old driver will do anything but it really depends on what the program wants. 

1. I need the technical reports that MAX generates using the Report Wizard.

2. Is your VM running when you try to run the executable?

3. To confirm, the executable is working on other XP machines?

4. Is attaching your project an option so that I can try it?

Yes I could attach the .exe of the program. I did notice somthing interesting.

When I downloaded the latest drivers from the NI website. and installed it it put a folder C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2005\DotNET\Assemblies under the assemblies if added the folder 9.1.20.163.

In the XP VM Side (the side that is working) I have two folders  (9.1.20.163) and a (9.5.20.112)

So you don't have 9.5.20.112 on your Windows 7 machine?

[LMI]

It doesn't look like I do, where can I get it?

[Rohama_K]

You can get it here. What is weird is you said you have DAQmx 9.5 on your Windows 7 machine. If installing this doesn't work, attach a technical report.

OK this is even more interesting seeing that I have somthing similar on my machine called NIDAQ950f2 which I downloaded yesterday from the NI site. Now I could ahve been wrong with the download and downloaded the incorrect version this whole time. THe download of the new (link you provided) is happneing now and it will take 5 hours to complete.

[LMI]

After downloading the link you provided and installing it still installed the 9.1.20.163

and not the 9.5.20.112

[LMI]

THe new folder 9.1.20.163 (which is the wrong folder) doesn;t have the NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll that I need to reference to.

I did try to copy the local 9.5.20.112 folder from my XP location into the Windows 7 location but that did not work either.

[LMI]

I have (3) screen shots. The Program screen shot is a small little program I wrote to check to see if the device exists. In the reference screen shot. I show that I have declared the same resources as I did in my bigger porogram. The error screen shot shows the same error that is being caught as when I run the program on any other machines.

Now I have VB 2005 running on my Windows 7 64 bit PC. These screen shots are from the VB 2005 program being compiled in the devlopement environment.

I hope this helps, because I an just lost now.
