How can I install NationalInstruments.Common 13.0.40.188

[song403]

My program report missing NI.Common 13.0.40.188 dll during build process. I search cure in this forum but seems no clear solution. So I just want to install 13.0.40.188 into my GAC area and let my program running, how can I do? Install the whole Labview 2014? I try to install measurement studio 2012,2015 for VS2010, but I don't find 13.0.40.188 in my machine only 13.0.40.190 instead. My program need 13.0.40.188 actually.

Hello,

I have been struggling to find a sure fire solution or catch all case. However performing a google search with the search operator that it will only search NI.com, you should find alot of references to DAQmx:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=Common%2013.0.40.188...

What I would therefore recommend is to install DAQmx and additionally .NET support for Visual Studio 2010, it should then enforce that this DLL is installed and registered to GAC:

http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-9.6/3423/en/

Keep in mind this is unsupported on Windows 8 or 10. But by selecting during installation a custom install and ensuring .NET support for Visual Studio 2010 is installed, it should install the correct one.

Note: You may need to uninstall the current version of DAQmx.

Best regards,

Ed

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. But I found the root cause and want to share with you. My project stored in a hard disk which can be accessed by two machines. I open a machine in computer A and add a reference "NationalInstruments.VisaNS". That will introduce "NationalInstruments.Common" reference automatically. And machine A "NationalInstruemts.Common" version is 40.188.  However, when I open this project in machine B, this machine only has 40.190 version. That cause the problem. So I add 40.190 reference again to solve this problem.
