Install Instrument I/O Assistant

[RavensFan]

Any words to go with your title?

I'm going to assume that you are trying to say you don't have the Instrument I/O assistant installed and want to know how to install it.

Have you installed the VISA drivers following your LabVIEW installation.

I installed Labview 2010,when tried to use Instrument I/O Assistant it told me it is not installed correctly,
I installed it and install it again twice because I am getting the same error,I have VISA and NI-488.2 Drivers installed. Thank you

Zack,

It sounds like you are following along with the knowledgebase article How Can I Fix an "Instrument I/O Assistant Not Installed Properly" Error? which is good.

Are you trying to install from the driver device CD or from a file that you downloaded from NI.com?

Do you get any errors while uninstalling the instrument I/O Assistant before you try to install it again?

Hi,

Thank you for response, I am trying to install it from a file downloaded from NI.com, I am not getting any errors while I am uninstalling it, but after the installation I am getting that it is not installed correctly I do not know how to get it don. Thank you

I would recommend going to to your control panel >> programs and features >> and then right click National Instruments Software and select Uninstall/Change and remove NI-VISA, NI-488.2, and NI Installation I/O Assistant.

Next install NI-VISA (and NI 488.2 if you are using GPIB). There should be an option to install NI Installation I/O Assistant along with it. (I would suggest the 5.0.3 version which is current for LabVIEW 2010 as of March 2011)  This can be found at NI-VISA 5.0.3 

If you are unable to install the NI Installation I/O Assistant from the NI-VISA installer then we'll probably have to go to the Device Driver download.

Hi Khoury,

It’s always better to open your own discussion forum in order to provide you better assistance.

In this case you will find in this link more information related to the Instrument I/O Assistance.

I have a similiar problem, however, I downloaded LabView straight from NI through my school. I don't have a disk to install the Instrument I/O Assistant. Do you know where else I can download the driver?
