where can I find NationalInstruments.Common.Native.dll

[narancha]

Hello!

I'm trying to deploy a project that uses NiDaqMx and in order to do that I need NationalInstruments.Common.Native.dll, but when I install NiDaqMx from (http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/sv/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,n8:3478.41.181.549...) I do not get this dll that I need.

I get:

NationalInstruments.NiLmClientDLL

NationalInstruments.MStudioCLM

NationalInstruments.DAQmx

NationalInstruments.DAQmx.ComponentModel

NationalInstruments.Common

So my question is, how do I aquiere the NationalInstruments.Common.Native dll?

It says in http://www.ni.com/tutorial/52522/en/#toc3  that it should be included in NationalInstruments.DAQmx..

Well, I have multiple versions of LabVIEW (from 2012 through 2016) installed on my PC, and have no files whose names start with NationalInstruments.Common in the "usual locations" (Program Files and Program Files (x86)).

A Web Search seems to indicate that files with this name may be created (or required) by Visual Studio, which I'm not using.

Bob is right.  Even that link you have talks about Measurement Studio and Visual Studio.

Your message will be moved over to that forum where people there familiar with them hang out and can help you.

Thanks for moving it! I did not know where to post this, I don't think that the topics makes much sense in the forum and I found an old post (that did not help) where I posted the original post..

This .DLL is in the GAC. Location varies slightly depending on what type of system, etc. It should be something like this:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\NationalInstruments.Common.Native
