I had NI-DAQ 7.0.1 running on two computers.
I'll call the two computers 'Server' and 'Client'.
'Client' was able to access the devices on 'Server'
fine with this configuration. However when I updated
to NI-DAQ 7.2 on both computers, labVIEW started to
hang. Whenever I opened any VI that uses a DAQ function
on 'Client', LabVIEW hangs for about a minute, then it
displays a message that a component is missing or a subvi could
not be found. After clicking 'OK' and waiting another minute
or so, the VI finally opens. I tried installing several different
versions (7.0,7.3) of NI-DAQ to resolve the problem but LabVIEW
continues to hang. I even reinstalled NI-DAQ 7.0.1 on both
computers and still
have the same problem. This leads me to
believe that updating NI-DAQ changes something in Windows registry
that doesn't get removed when I uninstall NI-DAQ.
