I've built a LabWindows application to use the USB 6008 on a Windows 8 Pro machine with CVI 2013 13.0.0. If I do an install on the machine used for the build it all works fine. If I install the build on a Windows 7 Home Premium machine it does not communicate with the USB 6008. The USB 6008 is recognized on the Windows 7 machine when plugged into a USB port. And the USB 6008 diagnostics run ok. The release build install is made using all the defaults. I assume the install build is missing some eIement, but I dont' have a clue. I'm trying to avoid installing the complete CVI 2013 on the Windows 7 as the next trouble shooting step. What am I missing?

I'd recommend checking to see if DAQmx is installed on the target machine, and if you can run test panels on the USB-6008 in MAX.

It turns out NI MAX in Windows 8 shows a device name in the instrument tree that is incorrect. However the test panels show the correct device name. The result was I coded using a name that worked for debugging and building. When loaded on the target system the device name was different so the build would not run. I've tested the build on several systems and all is ok.
Thanks for the response.

No problem. So, sounds like you got it working then?
