PXIe 1082 firmware update fails

[janaf]

Hello

I just fried a 1062Q backplane but by chance had a 1082 backplane on the shelf.

in NIMax, the backplane firmware shows up as version 1.0.0f0, and hardware rev A.

Running ver 17 of "everythig", NIMAX, PXI platform services.

Controller PXIe-8135, Win10.

The 1082 is identified and passes NIMax self test.

Only the first temperature sensor returns a reasonable value. 

But opening the VISA test panel fires:

Error opening resource:
{B63C26E6-6E77-4A84-BFD4-3B0F3D8F70D9}

VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0012) Invalid resource reference specified. Parsing error.

I'm trying to update the firmware via MAX PXIe-1082_fw_15_0_0f0.bin but that fails with the message . 

"There was a problem updating the firmware for this device"

Any advice here on how I can update the firmware?

thanks

I forgot to mention that the power supply/chassis where the PXIe 1082 backplane is mounted,  

is originally a PXIe 1062Q, in case that matters...

Hi janaf,

Try running NI MAX as an administrator, as mentioned in the KB below.
