DAQ Assistant broken again?

[delta_sigma]

Hello,

is the DAQ Assistant broken again in LabVIew 2026Q1? I have tested two different systems:

- PXIe-8840 QC with Windows 10 22H2 in PXIe-1085 chassis with PXI-6281 module

- Windows 11 Laptop with cDAQ-9171 and NI 9361 

both with LabView 2026Q1 (64-bit) 26.1f0. In both cases I can go through the configuration of the DAQ Assistant, but when it tries to generate the code, it fails with the error:

"LabVIEW Code Generation failed to execute. This may occur if the code gen engine is not properly installed, or if you are using a LabVIEW version under development." 

Is this just a problem with my setup, or are other people seeing this as well again. It feels like 2023 again. I just have to guess, which core version I have to install additionally now?

Just ditch DAQ Assistant and use shipping examples. See How to Search DAQmx Examples in LabVIEW

Your answer does not match the question above. We want to know how to resolve that issue.

Ditch the DAQAssistent and use plain DAQmx functions as explained in all the example VIs…

I feel your pain - Either you provide more context, file a bug report and maybe wait a couple of years until this is fixed or follow @Zyong's advice.

I have connected the DAQ device with my laptop with all the support files but when I tried placing the daq assistant block, after setting the parameters it showed this error. 

labview code generation failed to execute. this may occur if the code gen engine is not properly installed or if u are using a labview version under development

I have uninstalled the daq mx driver and reinstalled it. my labview is a community edition Q1 version, and the driver is also of the same version. How to solve this issue

Hi Suresh,

I moved your message because we had very similar questions just some days ago…

OK, 

I tried the Known Bugfix for LabView 2022 and 2023, by installing an earlier LabView version in addition to the current LabView 2026 Q1. I installed just LabView 2025 Q1, nothing more (but not just the runtime), since I had that version at hand. And DAQ Assistant works again. LabView 2025 Q3 might also work, but I have not tried it yet. I hope this helps others as well.
