Upgrade from Labview 6i to 6.1 produces Error -10401 at AO Group Config

[SpinDoc]

I built an application in LabVIEW 6i. It worked great. Then I decided to upgrade to LabVIEW 6.1 so that .vi's could be edited over our LAN from a computer running 6.1. The 6.1 installer recommended that I first uninstall 6i, then install 6.1. I did this.

Upon loading my application in my shiny new LabVIEW 6.1, I got many .vi-not-found errors, so I tracked down the relevant files in the (old) LabVIEW directory structure and showed LabVIEW where to find them.

Then I tried to run LabVIEW and received the message "Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config" I consulted MAX and he/it confirmed the Instrument Descriptor Strings & DAQ device numbers for all my devices. Told MAX to refresh his num
bers and he did so. I asked him to test the suspect device's resources (PXI-6704 Analog Output module), and the device failed the test...

and that's where I am now. The only errors I get come from AO Group Config, and the 6704 is the only device with which MAX is unhappy.

Ideas?

Thanks

credit where credit's due - the NI Support Engineers got me through this:

solution: uninstall NI-DAQ, then download and install
NIdaq693.exe
LV61Eng.EXE
from NI site\All Software Versions\Multifunction DAQ\NI-DAQ 6.9.3 for Windows 2000

hopefully this'll help others who run into similar troubles.
