Why does the DCD-Aug15_1.exe not install anything?

Solved!
Go to solution

I am evaluating MS2013.  I am using VS2015, but after reading another post have installed VS2013, as it is supported.

 

I have VS2013 and MS2015 working well together.  Because of our security, I need to install from a stand alone installer on my c: Drive.

 

VS2013 now has MS2015 menues.

 

I have opened project Getting started with file:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\MStudioVS2013\DotNET\Examples\ScopeWithUI\GettingStarted\cs\MainForm.cs

 

It has missing references.

How do I resolve those missing references?  The refer to a directory that has many dlls, just not the ones sought.

 

I have installed NISCOPE1501 and am now trying to install DCD-Aug15_1.exe.  I open the file and it says it is a self extracting file and will run installation after extraction.

 

I get the directory:

C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI Device Drivers\Aug15\DCD-Aug15-1

 

But nothing runs.  Is this installed?

 

I still have missing references.

If no installer ran after you ran the self-extracting EXE, you will need to run the setup.exe from the extracted directory. By default this is c:\National Instruments Downloads\, but you may have extracted it to a different location.

I needed to install all three of the parts.  When the third .exe ran, at completion, it launched an installer.  I would recomment a single line on the link page stating, "After all three executibles run, the installer will run."

 

It did not solve the original issue of VS2013 not finding the ModularInstruments.* DLLs.  But that became moot when I found there were other examples that met my needs.

 

For those who need ModularInstruments.*, I suggest a clear description of how to get them installed.  The suggestion to install the four installations identified above did not install these DLLs.  I still do not know how to do that.  I just no longer need them.

 

Mark this thread as answered.
