VisaNS References Old Assembly

[Skeptical]

Thanks.

[DavidB Nor Cal]

Hi, I am having a similar problem I think.  Based on the below error message, I think I need NationalInstruments.VisaNS.dll version 8.5.20.310.  I have versions: 8.9.20.108, and 8.9.20.108, but not 8.5.20.310.

Here is my error message.

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click
Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If
you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Hi DavidB Nor Cal,

Are you also using Sandcastle? Did you try the solutions already listed in the thread?

[DavidB Nor Cal]

Hi Hassan A,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

No, I am not using Sandcastle.

I am maintaining (fixing bugs) in a standalone application someone else wrote (now long gone) that communicates with test and measurement instrumentation via USB.  Everything works fine on Windows XP machines.  When I try to run it on various Windows 7 machines I get that error.  I looked at the solutions in this and other threads and I think I need to include version 8.5.20.310 of NationalInstruments.VisaNS.  But if you think it may be something else, I welcome your input.

Thanks,

David

Hi,

I still need this help.

Thanks,

Hi David,

Since you're not using Sandcastle, simply giving you the file may not solve the problem you are seeing. I'd like to find out why the .NET assembly is not properly binding to the new assembly version. Would you be able to get a fusion log, so we can explore the assembly binding? Here's a community document that explains how to do this:

Using Fusion Logs to Debug .NET Assembly Binding Issues

Let me know what this log shows. Take care!

Hi Tanya,

You were right.

I was able to resolve the problem without getting that specific file.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I found this while googling. it is a bit old but Sandcastle installation is hit with this problem.

I receive the message 

MREFBUILDER : error : Unresolved assembly reference: NationalInstruments.Common (NationalInstruments.Common, Version=9.0.35.610, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=18cbae0f9955702a) required by NationalInstruments.DAQmx

 So it seems I need 9.0.35.610.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Florian

Hi fschricker,

Based off of this thread it does appear that you need 9.0.35.610. I am currently in the process of trying to track that down and posting it here. Have you been able to find the necessary files?

[fschricker]

Hi,

thank you for replying!

Unfortunately I have not been able to track down the files myself.

regards,
