USB 6008 with Windows Embedded Standard 7

[Jon_Anderson]

I'm trying to get our software to work on a new system based on Windows Embedded Standard 7. I'm having trouble getting the DAQmx installer to finish properly. All that we need is the device driver for the device - is there some way I can find just the inf and sys files needed to install the device?

[Jon_Anderson]

I managed to get it working. I grabbed the files specifically mentioned by the inf file, then ran a static dependency analysis on the files. The list below shows everything I used. We haven't fully tested to make sure everything works like it should, but the device installs and our software talks to it.

niemwv.inf

niemrkw.sys
NIUSB71D60200.bin  

nisdigkw.sys       

niem.cat           

niemrk.dll
nindciu.dll        

nisdigk.dll        

nicdrk.dll         

nidmxfk.dll
nifslk.dll         

nimsdrk.dll        

nimstsk.dll        

nimxpk.dll
msvcr71.dll        

usb6xxxk.dll       

nimdbgk.dll        

nimxdfk.dll
niorbk.dll         

nimru2k.dll        

nidimk.dll         

nipalk.sys

Hi Jon,

Thanks for posting back and letting us know your status and what you did to get it working!

Just another update...

I tried installing using just those files on a fresh install of WES7 and the device could not start. My current procedure that works, but is messy, is:

Run NI-DAQmx installer, perform custom install. Install NI-DAQmx 9.2.1 and NI Measurement & Automation Explorer. (MAX was required - I couldn't deselect it) Click through the errors that come up for certain packages during the install.

Uninstall everything but NI-DAQmx (there are 4 other packages)

Copy the dll and sys files listed in my last post into both system32 and system32/drivers.

Reboot and plug in the USB-6008. Browse manually to the directory you copied the files from when installing the driver. It should install without any problems.

I tried putting just sys files in the drivers folder but it failed. I suspect that it is because many of the dlls are dependencies of nisdigkw.sys, which isn't ever properly installed. Performing the right steps to register the sys file and dlls would probably fix the issue.

Sorry to dig up ancient posts, but I am trying to install NI-DAQmx Runtime 9.7.5 core on a machine running Windows Embedded Standard 7. Where did you find these files?

[Jon_Anderson]

I honestly don't recall - I think I may have unpackaged them from the packages on the install media, but they should also all be installed to system32 or system32/drivers if you do a complete installation on another system, and then you can copy them from there.

Ah, that would make sense, I'll give it a try. Thank you very much.
