Measurement Studio Evaluation Software - Instrument Driver Factory

[Rick Hap]

Greetings,

I have a copy of the Measurement Studio Evaluaiton Software CD. I've
installed the Labwindows/CVI Demo and Component Works Demo. Wanted to
check out the Instrument Driver Factory (located in VB\Instrument
Driver Factory). When I launch IDF.exe I get an error which states
that I have to install Labwindows/CVI. I tried the installation a
couple of times with the same results.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi!
I would like to reproduce the problem on a test machine. Could you please tell me what OS you are using, and if you have any other NI softwares installed on your machine. Also, am I correct that you have Measurement Studio Evaluaiton Software for version 6?

Mika,

I have tried the installation on two machines.

The first system has Windows XP Pro along with Labview 6.0.2 / MAX /
PCMCIA-GPIB / Visual Basic 6.0 / Visual Basic.Net

The second system has Windows 2000 and Visual Basic 6.0

The Instrument Driver Factory error reads:

The ComponentWorks Instrument Driver Factory cannot locate
Labwindows/CVI. In order to use the factory, please install
Labwindows/CVI version 5.0 or greater.

The Measurement Studio Evaluation Sofware CD installed Labwindows/CVI
5.5 The CD picks a path of "C:\MeasurementStudioDemo\CVI\"

The Instrument Driver Factory is installed in
"C:\MeasurementStudioDemo\VB\Instrument Driver Factory\"

The Instrument Driver Factory is installed when the Component Works
for Visual basic is
installed.

The part number on the installation CD is 350654B-00

Thanks for your help.

Rick
