DAQ versus LV

[pdupre]

Hello,

I installed DAQmx (8.9) on a  C partition and Labview (8.6) on a D partiton  but LV does not see DAQmx ?

Is it the reason ?

I tried to edit the path the palette (I would have like to just replace the D by a C), in fact LV looks for in C:\Na......\menu.mnu.

I also tried to add a palette, but then a lot of VI are missing.

I also wanted to modify the labview.ini, but I was not able to recognize the path to the  palette tool.

To I tried to reinstall LV from the DVD and when it asks my for the driver, I tried my own installation, but the installer asks me

insert media for the driver. I do not have the media for 8.9 (the one on the media is 8.7.9 if I am correct), so I tried to

give it the path of the dowloaded file(NIDAQ890f1) as well as the path to the directory where I unzipped the dowloaded files,

but any of thoses paths are accepatble for the LV Installer.

Is it not possible to have a separated installation of DAQ and LV ?

Thank

Hi,

The usual way that the DAQmx drivers install with LabVIEW is in the vi.lib folder inside the LabVIEW program files.  Becuase it is installed under the LabVIEW folder it must be on the same hard drive partition.  If you can post back more information about why you are trying to do this so that I can understand the root of your problem I may be able to help out further.
