When installing the "NI Vision Development Module" from the fourth quarter 2008 DVDs the item in question is supposedly installed.Yet we find that it is not.
What gives?

No, Vision Acqisition Software is in Device Driver DVD, not Developer Suite DVD.
Vision Acquisition not Vision Development.

I don't doubt it, but perhaps you should explain that to National Instruments as they don't seem to know how to install their own software (which is why no one in my entire programming group can find IMAQ snap or IMAQ grab even though we've all installed the Vision package in accordance with the on-screen instructions).
"The Vision Development Module also includes NI Vision Assistant and NI Vision Acquisition software. NI Vision Acquisition software is a set of drivers and utilities that acquire, display, save and monitor images from analog, parrallel digital, Camera Link, IEEE 1394..."

I'm having the same issue, but fully uninstalling down to just 8.6 didn't work for me. I noticed that in the NI vision 8.5 package, the support files are only listed for 8.5, 8.2, 8.0, 7.1 ..not 8.6 (see image attached). I'm assuming this is the reason the package only loads into 8.5 and not other versions?
Is there a 8.6 support file that can be dled somewhere?

veritas, try this:
pop in the device drivers disk and manually select NI-IMAQ 4.1 from Vision Aquisition software.
I think the new device driver install routine may be the problem. It seems to be leaving out NI-IMAQ 4.1 drivers by default.

So on a couple test installations, I actually selected everything, so I'm pretty sure I did that. Or, do you mean to uniquely select that one?
thanks.

Looks like you need NI-IMAQ 4.1 (First Quarter 2009 DVDs) - you've got NI-IMAQ 3.8, which doesn't support Labview 8.6.
It looks like the download is available here:
