Data socket latest version

[bboyce]

What is the latest version of Data Socket Server?  How do I add it to my computer without installing LabView (since I'm a Measurement Studio for VB6)?

I'm using Data Sockets for communications between a LabView application and a VB6 Application.  I have a computer with Version 4.0 (369) Data Socket Server.  When I read String sockets with my VB6 program they come in as "0". 

At the same time I have another computer with perhaps a different version of Data Socket Server that correctly reads string sockets (unknown version since I'm unable to gain access to that machine).

The code for both systems is generated on the same development system.  The VB6 Component version appears to be Version 4.2 (2).

The solution I'm looking for must take into account that:   I'm using NIDAQ Traditional only, because I can't get NIDAQ Tradisional and NIDAQmx on the computer together without causing serious problems.)

Thanks

Hi bboyce,

The following link will explain how to get the latest version of the Data Socket Server.

How Can I Download and Install the Latest Version of DataSocket and DataSocket Server?

The link I get to is:  LabVIEW_8.2_Runtime_Engine.exe (94 Mb).  The link is broken. 

Additionally, it is not what I asked for.  I don't want 94Mb of compressed executable to just get a little DataSocket going! 

While I could not find it on the NI site I did manage to find a folder on the NIDAQ disk set called Products/DataSocket and also on a LabView disk set that my customer had (luckily) called Redist/DataSocket.  I updated from the Redist/DataSocket folder and became operational, and with text strings working properly.  These packages are well under 10Mb.

I just have to think that these files should exist somewhere on the NI site.  DataSocket is supposed to provide a communication point between many types of software, why is it opacly listed only within a LabView executable bundle?
