Missing .dll? (nilvaiu.dll) ...when building an installer in 2009.

[chuggins1434]

Ok, what we have here is a bit of fumbling in the dark... I haven't built a executable/installer since I was working with  LV8.6, so please bear with me here...  before anyone ask, yes I did search!

Here's my process at this point...

I have a VI that is working as desired.  I wish to make this a standalone executable that I can run on another computer to manage some controls.

I have the 2009 LV runtime engine installed on said computer.

I then open my VI, again verify that it is working as desired, and add a new Project.

This VI is added to the project.

I now have the project explorer open, and select Build Specifications and select New/Application(EXE)

On the following tabs I take the following actions...

Information... No action taken

Source Files... I select the VI and add it to the Startup VIs list

Destinations... No action taken

Source File Settings... No action taken

...and basically leave all the rest at their defaults.

Hit Build and it builds "My application", which is added below the Build Specifications file.

I took that folder with the exe file included and tried to run it on my target computer and it comes up missing the afore mentioned nilvaiu.dll  

Now, am I making this too simple?  Missing some steps?  I also went down the path of making a installer and get the same missing dll when I run it. 

I'm more than willing to read and learn, but I'm either just not searcing for the correct terms or in the right places.  A point in the right direction would be much appreciated guys!

Thanks,

Chad

nilvaiu.dll installs with DAQmx

I'll give that a shot in the morning!  Thank you!

Do I only need to check the two you have shown?  ...or do I need to check all three DAQmx files?

Thanks,

As for the dll problem, this is solved.  I'll start another post with my next issue...  Thank you JB!

How do you do the same in LV2012?  Don't see that option anywhere.

Thanks

Hello Tellerium,

For 2012 it should be the same. If you create a new installer in Build Specifications in your project. In the Category list, you will see Additional Installers and you can select DAQmx. You will have the same three options and the check boxes underneath.

Kinda necroing an old thread here but I am having the exact same plroblem. Working from an XP development PC to a windows 7 Deployment PC after creating an installer containing NIDAQmx 9.9.0 and NIDAQmx Max configuration support installing and running generates:

Missing SubVI DAQmx Read (Analog 1D)

Missing SubVI DAQmx Clear Task

Missing external function nilvaiu.*: DAQReadNXhanNSamp1DWfm:C

Any reason this would still be showing up even if NI-DAQmx is installed?

Hi ogk.nz,

Have you included all three DAQmx installers and checked both boxes at the bottom of the window as shown in amezam's post when you built your installer? There may also be a compatibility issue, as DAQmx 9.9 is not supported on LabVIEW 2009. Try reverting to DAQmx 9.7 or upgrading to LabVIEW 2010 as per this compatibility chart:

Yeah, I uninstalled everything including the 2009 runtime and replaced them all with the 2012 Runtime and DAQmx 9.9 and it all runs, apparently must have just been a version clash or something.
