Hardware driver packages in Package Manager, suggestion

[janaf]

Wouldn't i make sense if installation of uninstalled NI hardware driver packages was available through the Package Manager.....

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. I want to ensure I understand your request.

Which driver packages are you not able to reinstall? You should be able to continue to find them from the Browse Products tab in NI Package Manager. Or are you saying that all uninstalled packages should show up in the Packages tab, even if they didn't originate from the Browse Products tab?

Hi,

On a networked PXI box, with only the Package Manager installed, I go to Browse Products, Drivers, I expected to find NI-DAQmx, NI-DMM, NI-FGEN, NI-PXI etc.... It would be handy to select them there for installation. (I only see listed a few third party drivers). 

On a side note, I had a dozen driver packages installed but uninstalled everything for a major cleanup. Maybe that's why they don't show up?

I think I understand the confusion. Clicking Drivers under Browse Products is only showing you the first 10 drivers, in alphabetical order. If you look at the bottom, you should see that there are 90 more pages of drivers:

However, rather than scrolling through each page, I suggest using the search bar in the upper-right. Please note that you don't have to be in the Drivers category to narrow this search, as it will search the entire Browse Products catalog:

Thanks!

Now do I fell like a fool?
