Where to install LabVIEW third party drivers

[SOC]

Hi, I haven't used LabVIEW in several years.

I have downloaded numerous third party drivers and saved them locally on my C:\.

Where should I move these .lib files so that I can use them throught he functions Palette?

Is there a certain structure I should use when saving these?

Also what is the difference between user.lib & instr.lib files?

I have tried to find the folder as outlined in the following tread but I cannot seem to find the folder:

How Do I Install My Third Party Instrument Drivers?

This is what is at the recommended loaction:

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Seamus

instr.lib is for instrument drivers.  user.lib is for your own private libraries.

I am guessing you are on a 64 bit OS.  So you should be looking in C:\Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW (20XX)\instr.lib
