Somewhere around 2017, I was successful in adding the NI VISA extension to Visual Studio 2017. Although the development software came free of charge, I had to get a password or certificate from NI before I could access the extension - I can not remember the exact process. The question of Measurement Studio's support of Visual Studio 2017 was a hot topic. As things would have it, I am in the same boat today with Visual Studio 2022 and NI VISA as I try to port my proven project to a new computer running Windows 11 hopefully with minimal issues with the working coded project using the MessageBasedSession class o IO handling.
With that background said, the issue I am dealing with is that I am unable to attach the National Instruments VISA extension to the project under Visual Studio 2022 running on the new machine (an HP ELITE Desktop 800). The extension is listed by the Reference Manager upon loading the development environment from the NIVISA 1700 Full package as used with the original project. I see on the community board that VS2022 integration has not been fully implemented for MS, but I am using low level IO. So, do I need to get the license activation from NI on the new computer or is there a comparability issue with NIVISA 2017 and VS2022?
I suspect it is a license issue for which I need a NI Support Engineer to help in activating the software.
