... Instrument IO Assistant is not installed correctly.

[Robert M]

The Instrument I/O Assistant (IIOA) requires both NI-488.2 and NI-VISA but is not included with either of these drivers.  It is only included on the NI Device Driver CD (which also includes NI-488.2 and NI-VISA) which does not come with the student edition of LabVIEW.  Do you have the NI Device Driver CD from another source?  If so, you can install the IIOA from the Driver CD after installing LabVIEW.  Updating NI-488.2 and NI-VISA won't affect the compatibility or usability of the IIOA.  The LabVIEW installation actually comes with an IIOA installer (iioa.msi, I think), but running this installer will not properly install the IIOA.  It must be installed from the Device Driver CD.  As for Agilent's VISA, I'm not sure how it will affect the IIOA.  If NI-VISA is installed and working properly the IIOA shouldn't have any incompatibilities with Agilent's VISA.

I have the Student version of LabView and have encountered the same problem as well. The Instrument I/O Assistant is even referenced in the Student Edition handbook! Is there a way to get the Device Driver CD?
