Hi,
IVI Compliance Package2.1is an old version of ICP. Please try installing the latest version of ICP from drivers and updates and let us know if you are still having issues.

Hi! maybe you can help me. I have the same issue.
I need to write a LabWindows application using NI IVI drivers, but I have no luck since when I open NI MAX NO DRIVERS are available.
That is: I open MAX to create a New Logical Name, but once I’ve created the Logical Name, no Drivers are available and the “Go To” buttom remains disaibled.
I’ve run a quite new software installation on a clean machine (PC, x86,32 Bits, WIN7) following these steps:
Am I missing something? What can be wrong?
Thanks in advance for your atention.
Regards!

ICP installs IVI Class drivers, but if you are refering to IVI-C specific drivers these drivers have to be downloaded separately. Once you install the specific drivers you will see them in MAX.

I'm having the same problem. Where do I find the IVI-C drivers to install? I've tried the NI website, IVI Foundation (Class drivers just links me back to ni.com and the page that says to download the NI IVI Compliance Package).
Under IVI Drivers in the menu bar in MAX, I can see Simulation Driver Software Modules and Simulation Driver Sessions. But, the folders containing Instrument Driver Software Modules and Driver Sessions are empty. I've installed IVI drivers, NI-VISA, and Agilent VISA on my computer.
Thanks.

I have specific hardware drivers installed on my computer (e.g. for Agilent equipment). I was able to install and access them through LabVIEW when laying out my schematic. But, I don't see them in the MAX. They are located in folders in my C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib directory. The drivers themselves are composed of .lvproj and .lvlib files. The instr.lib directory also contains a lot of "_Template - XYZ" folders (where XYZ are componets like DC Power or DMM).
Aren't these the files that are supposed to be automatically detected by the MAX as drivers?
I've also tried installing IVI-C drivers directly liike the NISCOPE but installation of it resulted in an incompatibility error.

Nevermind. I fixed the problem-- I had to install parts 1 AND 2 of the NI drivers.
Thanks for the help, though.
