Installation of NI USB-6259 Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error

[sdim]

Hi,

I am trying to install NI USB-6259 DAQ card but I am getting a Runtime Error which says

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program E:\setup.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I have also installed LabView 7.1 but I still keep on getting the same message. Any help please?

Thanks

Hi sdim,

I imagine that you are trying to install DAQmx, the driver necessary for the card to communicate back to your machine.  DAQmx 9.2.2 is the latest driver we have available.

DAQmx 9.2.2- Windows

However, you will need the version that works iwth LabVIEW 7.1.  You can identify this on the following knowledgebase article.  In your case, DAQmx 8.9 is the latest driver to work wtih LabVIEW 7.1.  Please try this version with your machine to see if it helps.

Best,

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately that did not solve my problem.

This problem only arose when I formatted my pc because previously I had installed the DAQ card with no problems. Most probably something went wrong with Windows Installation. I ran a registry analyzer and it found way too many problems in the registry. I will ask our IT team for a fresh installation and we will see from there.

Thanks for your support.

Re-installation of Windows did not solve the problem.

The solve this problem change the Regional and Language Options settings from Control Panel to United Kingdom. That solved my problem.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Which locale caused the DAQmx installer to crash? Also, which version of Windows were you using?

Hi Brad,

I am using Windows XP SP3 and Regional settings were set to Malta.

Hi Brad Keryan,

 I would like to highlight that when I tried to install Labview 2010 on my Vista system (SP2), 3GB RAM, Core2Duo,  I had the same problem of Runtime error.

After changing my Location from India to UK, in the Regional Settings, my installation worked fine. Please report this bug to whomever concerned.

Thanks,

Regards,

Vinay
