Is there an example file for using nidaqmx mergemodule in WIX?

[rerasolutions]

I am using VS2012 and Measurement Studio 2013. Our software depends on both NIDAQmx and VISA. Therefore I need to include the mergemodules for nidaq and visa. Since we now are advised to use WIX, I was looking at the example application. It seems to work fine, however I cannot find an example for NIDAQ/VISA. I can select only the following modules:

      < FeatureGroupRefId="AnalysisEnterprise_MergeModules"/>

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="AnalysisProfessional_MergeModules"/>-->

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="AnalysisStandard_MergeModules"/>-->

      <FeatureGroupRefId="MStudioCommon_MergeModules"/>

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="DataSocket_MergeModules"/>-->

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="NetworkVariable_MergeModules"/>-->

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="TDMS_MergeModules"/>-->

      <FeatureGroupRefId="UIShared_MergeModules"/>

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="UIWebForms_MergeModules"/>-->

      <FeatureGroupRefId="UIWinForms_MergeModules"/>

      <!--<FeatureGroupRef Id="WPF_MergeModules"/>-->

But no NIDAQ/VISA, can somebody help me out to add mergemodules for NIDAQmx and VISA as well?

Thanks,

Erik

Hello rera,

I didn't really find any example related to DAQmx or VISA.

I must admit that I'm personally not really so familiar with WiX, but I'll try my best to help you.

One thing I think is quite important to note is the difference between the MergeModules inherent to Measurement Studio itself (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/42A33C58738B5CBC8625790D0006BA56?OpenDocument) and the Device Drivers you're using (like DAQmx and NI VISA).

As far as I know this should be similar to adding any other drivers to a certain installer package.

There's also some more information about how these Device Drivers can be located on http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372636F-01/mstudiowebhelp/html/netmergemodules/

PS: Which example are you specifically refering to?

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for your reply, I will start reading these links. I am referring to the example as shown in:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\MStudioVS2012\DotNET\Examples\Application\Deployment\WiX

Thanks,

Can someone post a working example of how to deploy DAQmx in WiX?  The supplied link does not contain any example regarding DAQmx.  I tried develping a Wix deploymen file but I don't have enough information to get it working. Thanks
