Problem installing NI-daq 6.9.3

[EduU]

Good morning guys!

Well I installed labview 7.1 in my notebook and I need to install NI-DAQ 6.9.3 to support my PCMIA DAQCARD 700.

The problem is, I downloaded the NI-DAQ 6.9.3 from here and it was in English, but when I run it the program starts in german....

I don't know speak or read german, and when I click to install appears a message in german.

Could anyone help me?

Ther german part:

"lhr NI-DAQ gerätetreiber wurde erfolgreich installiert. Sie können jetzt das System herunterfahren und lhre Datenerfassuns-Hardware in den Computer einfungen. Nach den neustart lhres computers konnen Sie Dann entsprechende Dokumentationen fur lhre hardware installieren und die hardware mit dem measurement and automation explorer konfigurieren."

Using google translator:

"LHR NI-DAQ device driver is successfully installed. You can now shut down the system and einfungen Their Datenerfassuns hardware in the computer. After the reboot lhres computers you can then install the appropriate documentation for Their hardware and configure the hardware with the measurement and automation explorer."

So it's say that have benn sucessfully installed, now how can I install my daqcard-700? Because my pc is detecting the card but don't find the driver to install, Where I can find the driver to this card?

Thanks.

Hello EduU!

Try running the installer this way...

Open the command prompt (start >> run >> "cmd" >> enter).  Change directories to the location of the DAQmx installer ("cd C:/<...>/" >> enter).  Finally run the setup.exe with the following line: "setup.exe /reinstall /lang eng" >> enter.  That should force the installer to run/install the english language version.  I added the /reinstall tag to force a reinstallation, which may also help with the issue of windows not finding the drivers.

This is likely a version mismatch problem, as NI-DAQ 6.9.3 is only supported up to LabVIEW 6.1: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B0D5630C0A50D5C6862578E800459248?OpenDocument

Also, what OS are you running on your notebook?  LabVIEW 6.1 is only supported up to Windows XP 32-bit: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B972242574D4BB99862575A7007520CB?OpenDocument

Best,

Thanks for your answer C-Dav.

Well I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 2, and the version of LabVIEW is 7.1

I have to use this crap notebook because I need use my DAQ-CARD 700, my company already bought the new LabVIEW version and a USB card now...

So i'm developing the new software, in this time I still need the DAQ-CARD 700 working correct.

I will try install this way, and I will give a feedback as soon as possible!

Well I tryed what C-Dav proposed, and I get the following message:

I put setup.exe /reinstall /lang eng

and appears " Invalid command line parameters.

Setup [Specfile] [/q] [/lang <id>] [/r[:n|:f]] [/l[ivearucmopv*+!] <logfile>] [/h] [/?]

/?, /h: display this help

/q: run silently

/lang <id>: Run in language <id>. Choices are:

deu,7: german

eng,9: english

fra,12: french

jpn,17:japonese

NNNN: any other Microsoft LANGID value

/l: generate log file. Uses same syntax as MSI

/r, /r:n Supress final reboot

/r:f Force final reboot to occur.

I tried change the code in DOS to

setup.exe /reinstall /lang 9

but didn't work too....

I'd try scapping the '/reinstall' command.  You may find you need to uninstall first, but give that a try.

Best,
