can't create an installer in LV2009

I can compile an application but not an installer.  my installer includes an exe file and additional installer.  I can create the installer if I don't include either NI-DAQmx Application Development Support 9.5.5 or NI-DAQmx MAX configuration Support 9.5.5.  If I include NI-DAQmx Core Runtime 9.5.5 it will create the installer.  However, when I install it on my laptop I cannot see my DAQ configuration in Measurements & Automation.  I have an USB 6509 DIO.  I created 3 channels to support my project using the DIO.  I include this in the hardware configuration. I include the NI USB-6509 in Devices and Interfaces.  I also include USB-6509 Port 1 Out, USB-6509 Port 1 Out and USB-6509 Port 8 Out.  Then I export and that is included with my installer.

 

If I build with NI-DAQmx Core Runtime 9.5.5, it completes.  I install it on my laptop.  I plug in the USB-6509 DIO and it is recognized and the driver installs. But, the program cannot see the Ports I included.  I cannot see them or create any new ports in Measurements & Automation on my laptop.  I quess I need to include ni-DAQmx MAX configuration Support 9.5.5 and remove the Core Runtime since it is included with my new selection.  I build and receive this error.

Should I download the NI-DAQmn 9.5.5 full package and reinstall it on my development computer?  Would this solve this error?  Should I install NI-DAQmx 9.6 instead.  I'm running LabView 2009 Pro 3rd quarter.

 

Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Ron,

 

I would say do try as you asked. Try both and see if that makes a difference. Also, here is a white paper which I'm sure you are familiar with but it does not hurt to include on here just to make sure you are not missing a step in the deployment of your application.

Please give us updates and any other information which you may feel is pertinent to this issue.
