Visa configure serial port crashes in windows 10 when selecting COM port

[roopesh689]

Hello ,

I am operating a data acquisition system with 4 channels for over 1 year and the appllication had no problem in earlier version of windows 7,8.1 .

Now i have installed the application in a new laptop with Windows 10 .and while selecting the COM port in Visa configure serial port.vi ,the application crashes. I have updated the NI VISA to 15.01 and created the instaler again and installed it again. Still i am not able to find a solution for the problem.

While creating installer i have seleted the option "Automatically select additional Installers " . and the list also includes the updated NI VISA 15.01 ,and Labview 2013.

You do know that LabVIEW 2013 is not supported on Windows 10, don't you?

Did you install the full version of VISA or just the runtime? Did you also install MAX? Does that work?

Thank you Dennis for the reply. 

I am not an expert in Labview. I have updated my 2013 version hoping that it will get me every updates required to build an application that can run in windows 10 as well. Now do i have to use 2014 ? and can i use the same project files and VI's to build an installer in 2014 or above versions?

Luckily the above mentioned problem was solved ,since it was the windows 10 which deny the access to a configuration text file.

My appication saves some user settings like COM port ,Channel selection, etc to a file located inside C:\\ drive . and since the applicaton is unable to modify the file ,an error occurs which cause the crash.

Now the secuity properties of the file have been changed for all users to modify,read and write the file. and its working fine.

Thanks.
