Hey Brooks,

 

One thing I would try would be to uninstall your current version of DAQmx, and download an online version of the installer. (http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-9.7.5/4240/en/ if you want to keep the same version of DAQmx)

Hi Brooks_LV,

 

After doing some research regarding the errors your have received, there seem to be several causes of this error. Here is a KnowledgeBase Article that describes one of the solutions suggested for this error: AE KB 4PAIRE3H: Not A Path Error Received When Building an Installer. It seems as if this error accompanies a corruption for the build specification of the installer. Let me know if these steps help.
