Installing NI-Motion 7.6 in Xp Mode

Hi,

I'm trying to install NI-Motion 7.6 on a virtual Windows XP (Virtual PC and XP Mode) from a PC with Windows 7 64bits. When the installer starts copying files I get the error shown in the attached file.

Is it possible to install NI-Motion7.6 in XP Mode?

 

Thanks

Hi Diogo,

 

Thanks for your answer. My need to install NI-Motion 7.6 in XP Mode is just to recompile some legacy applications. This is not a production machine. Upgrading NI-Motion to a newer version is not an option here. I don't need to use/install the NI motion board just to recompile my code.

So, from your response, I guess that NI-Motion 7.6 can't be installed in virtualization mode ...

Hi Tulio,

 

The Win XP on Virtual Machine is a Windows XP x86 or a 64-bit Windows XP?

Most NI drivers are not compatible with 64-bit Windowns XP, but I can´t know that from your picture, because don´t have the error description, the messsage only say the following error and don´t have a description or error number.

Hi Abel,

 

It's a XP x86 and the error message is exactly what is in the picture. Nothing more, nothing less...

 Tulio,

 

Are you instaling NI Motion from a CD or from a Download File?
