NICAIU.DLL missing after update

[mhubel]

After installing the latest update NIDAQmxBase1500.exe on a windows 10 system a command line utility failed with a message that NICAIU.DLL was missing. This is a DAQmx application which has no .NET or other user interface. It is written in streight C using Visual Studio and had been working. I believe the last working version was NIDAQ1610f3.exe

I am assuming that NIDAQmxBase1500.exe was the wrong thing to use.

I can't find anything on the NI site that is a newer version of NIDAQ1610f3.exe, Does it exist?

I did a google search for NIDAQ18 and it found NIDAQ1860f2.zip, installing that solved the missing dll but it was not at all clear if this was the latest version. It appears easy to miss the links to this on the NI site as all the useful links are on the bottom of pages which are well off screen and what you see are the "popular downloads" which do not seem to lead to anything useful.
