VISA library not loaded (Error -1073807202)

Hello,

 

I have been using Labview 2015 (32 bit) to communicate GPIB instruments. After upgrading to Labview 2016, it reports an error (Error -1073807202) whenever I try to communicate a GPIB instrument. When I upgraded the Labview to 2016, I also upgraded NI VISA to 16.0 from the same installation package. I checked the visa*.dll files and the required dll files (visa32.dll, visa64.dll and so forth) seem to be all in correct places. NI-MAX recognizes the NI-VISA driver and communicates well with the GPIB instrument.

 

Below is what I have tried so far but nothing worked.

 

(1) Repair NI-VISA 16.0

(2) Remove/Reinstall NI-VISA 16.0

(3) Remove all the NI softwares (Labview's and drivers) and reinstall Labview 2016 and the NI-VISA 16.0.

(4) Install NI-VISA 17.0

(5) Repair NI-VISA 17.0

 

By the way, I have another desktop computer, which shows same symptoms after upgrading. I have a laptop computer that works fine with Labview 2016, but this laptop computer has never had NI softwares before.

 

The computers (two desktops with the problem and the laptop without the problem) all have Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 OS and I installed LabView 2016 64 bit version.

 

Thanks.
