After a recent crash, and hard drive replacement, I've been attempting to restore my set of NI tools back to functionality.
I currently have all of my devices working except for my cDAQ-9174. I've installed multiple version of the NI-DAQmx software, beginning with 9.1, the version that came with the the device. I've also tried 9.4, and most recently 9.5 (Each time uninstalling via the add/remove software control panel).
In all attempts the installer fails (for various reasons, it seems). The only error I receive with 9.5 relates to not being able to install the associated SXCI software. With 9.1 and 9.4 a similar error regarding the MIO appears. If I choose to continue, upon finishing the installation process, I am told by the installer that it failed and that I should address the problem and try again. Though I'm never told what the problem actually is.
Some pertinent info:
Windows XP professional, x64. Version 2003, SP 2
Labview 2010
Measurement & Automation 5.1
When I try to view the device in Control Panels > System > Hardware > Device Manager, cDAQ 9174 has a an exclamation mark. When I attempt to update the driver via the device manager an error message is displayed reading:
"Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance."
There are a few other posts on this topic, though they are rather old, one almost a decade. However, following as closely as I can, in principle, has yielded no success.
The device driver shows up in Measurement & Automation under software, listed as: "NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5"
it is version 9.50f2
Does anyone have any advice on how I can attempt to fix this?
I believe my next step is a complete uninstall and reinstall (will be the second).
Thank you very much for any help. And please let me know if I can provide any other info that may be helpful.
Regards,
Mike B.
