DAQmx is missing in LabView

[Kris_D]

Hello,

I have just installed NI MAX 17.0.0 and LabView 2017 Professional Development System.

I have a USB-6008 DAQ board and have it installed (i.e. I see it in MAX, test it, can make a task etc.)

However in LabView any reference to DAQmx is missing - I cannot read a task for example. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and any help will be greatly appreciated.

And you have installed NI DAQmx 17.1 with support for LabVIEW 2017 checked? 

And you installed DAQmx after LabVIEW was installed?

You need to install LabVIEW first.

FYI, you did not have to uninstall.  You could have just installed DAQmx again.  All that would be installed would be the LabVIEW support, so it would have gone very fast.
