Error code -1073807202

A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.

I can't find any information about this error.  This error happend on a computer with LV Runtime installed and no development environment.  Anyone have any ideas?

The error usually means that VISA or the VISA run-time is not installed.

Thanks!  I will give it a try.

I just spent a day chasing this error, uninstalling and re-installing VISA, making sure that 488.2 was installed correclty, ensuring that support for my version of LV is installed, etc.

After playing with several instrument driver examples for awhile, I noticed that all along it was a simple typo with an inappropriate error being thrown, our beloved 1073807202.

Entering a string like GPIB::14::INSTR into a VISA resource control without the quotes throws this error.  It needs the quotes:  "GPIB::14::INSTR"  , then it works fine

Odd that a typo results in an error regarding software libraries being unfound.

I don't mean this as a complaint, it was my fault, just didn't see this info out there, so send some virtual humor my way if this helps someone.

Using quotes is not correct with a VISA Resource Name Control. Exactly what driver are you using that you had to do this? Are you using an NI GPIB board and are you using NI-VISA?
