CVI Distribution needs 2 CVI Device Drivers versions

I have an app that I am building a distribution for, it is in CVI 9.0.1, and several versions prior to that.
When I build it, it asks for CVI Device Drivers (CVI 9.0.1) from Feb 2009 and CVI Device Drivers (CVI 8.5.1) from March 2008.
Is there a way I can make this use all the stuff from the latest driver discs (the Feb 2009 disc)?
This is an app that runs on a PXI box, so it has a bunch of drivers for that that and some card in the (I think)!
Solved!

Chris,
Getting the distribution to pull from the latest versions (Feb 2009):
Find the driver that is being pulled from the old disc and install the newer version from the Feb 2009 disc.
How do I do this? I opened the Windows Control Panel Add or Remove Programs, and found National Instruments, but that lists a whole bunch of things? I tried to open the installed from the Driver DVD, but it wouldn't while the Add & Remove for NI was opened, so I took screen shots of the list of drivers installed so I had a list of what was installed.
Then, I closed the ADD & Remove for NI, and started the installer from the Driver DVD. I compared that against the list (screen shots) of what I have installed.
I went through all the components from the Driver DVD Installer, and selected "Leave this feature and its subfeatures installed locally"
I had to hunt through the sub-subfeatures to find parts the installer told me were for things not installed (like VS 2003).
Dealing with two discs during the building of the installer:
What you can do is in the driver & components menu (of the edit installer window), you can select "Cache components included from this source" for the distributions it pulls in from the driver cd. That way instead of having to insert discs each time for the build, it will just pull the required source from your hard drive.
What I had done in the past was to copy the driver discs to my hard drive. Then, when it asks for the driver CD or DVD, I would point to the copied folders on my HD. But, the new DVD set is too big for my HD, with the old DVD.
I'm hoping the selection above, to copy things locally, is how to do the caching you mention. I didn't see anything about caching the components, and hoping the language form NI is changed.
I will try the build in a while, it required a reboot, but I didn't want to loose my notes on this so far.
I will update this later today, after I rebuild my app.

I need the device drivers for my built-in iSight camera for Windows 7?

I'm using Windows 7 with Boot Camp on my mid 2009 model Macbook. Basically my iSight camera is not recognized and I can't find it in device manager to update the driver so I need to manually find the driver and install it but I don't know where to find it. Anybody that can help?

Anything here help? Boot Camp - Apple Support

Using transforms and filters without device drivers

Hello,
I came across NIMS as a possible solution for some transforms and filtering, possibly even generating test signal data, for a seismic application. I'm in the process of evaluating NIMS for best possible fit for what we need/want to accomplish.
Basically, we've got some seismic data, and we want to process that data through a series of transforms and filters to denoise and pick the data for seismic analysis. No sense reinventing the wheel if we can adopt and then adapt a third-party library like NIMS into our app.
We do not necessarily need any device drivers, although I noticed installing NIMS requires them. Hopefully we can opt in or out depending on what's actually required. Can someone help clarify the nature of the driver dependency?
Anyhow, like I said I am evaluating it for best possible fit in our application, but in the meantime if someone can shed some light on the above concerns, questions, etc, would begreat.
Thank you...
Best regards.

Device Drivers for hp pavilion g6-1318ax windows 7 32bit for AMD processor

I don't get device drivers for HP pavilion g6-1318ax for the operating system Windows 7 32bit. I have AMD motherboard & processor. I need all device drivers. What should I do?

Hi:
You will need to get the smbus controller driver from me...
For the SMBus controller...Here is what I have done...I have zipped up and attached below under Attachments, the raw smbus controller driver files for you to unzip and manually install. This should work without any drama.
Download and unzip the file.
Go to the device manager and click on the smbus controller needing drivers. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that you unzipped.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then reboot.

Do you require device drivers (ie Gaili card drivers or ESD CAN bus drivers) just to build a LabVIEW application

I have be told a number of different things in regards to this. Some say that you need the device drivers to build and some say you do not. I think that there are no interaction with the device drivers to build the application, but if there are library files then all you need is the library files. Any comments.
Thanks
Rob

Well if the device driver consists of DLLs you won't be able to compile and therefore link and build the application without those DLLs being available on the computer you want to do the build.
But your question does by far not contain enough detailed information to give more specific advice.

Labwindows cvi 2010 sp1 Device drivers

Hi all
I am trying to install cvi 2010 sp1 and it is asking for the Device Drivers for the program, where can I find the drivers for the sp1.
To finish installing
I have some older drivers but what is the latest for sp1
Thanks in advance

Hi Iriddick,
You can choose to not install the Device Drivers with CVI and you will not get that window. You can also cancel installing the Device Drivers without cancelling the CVI installation. If you would like to install the Device Drivers, you can find the latest version by searching for "device drivers" at the ni.com main page. The current latest version is the NI Device Drivers 2011.08.

TestStand deployment needs device drivers

I am offsite and I'm trying to create a TestStand installer. I have installed on this loaner laptop, LV8, CVI8, TS3.5. When I run the deployment (installer) I get the message
"Please insert the CD containing the following component:National Instruments Device Drivers - May 2006.The last directory this component was found was:E:\".
Earlier, I was receiving a similar message because it was looking for my TestStand Installer CD. Since I don't have any of these disks with me, I downloaded TestStand 3.5 from the NI website and and placed the zip (and its extracted files) into some harmless directory. Then, when asked again by the deployment tool about TestStand Installer, I pointed it to that directory - that problem went away. Now it's complaining about the drivers. I thought I could find these drivers in a bundle somewhere, but all I'm able to find is individual items (IVI 2.5, VISA 4.0). Is there any way to satisfy the deployment tool without having to wait till I get home to access my disks?
I saw that this set of drivers for the NI Developer's Suite has a part number of 371624D-01, 324192D-01 - If this helps anyone

Hi mrbean,
I actually believe you are attending one of our TestStand classes right now. I have emailed the instructer to see if we could get you a copy of the device driver CD for May 2006.
In regards to why you are receiving this message, it appears you are trying to include additional NI installers in your deployment package. In this case, there are certain components that are located on the driver CDs that need to be copied over to the TestStand deployment package. If the component is not present on the computer, then it will need to be copied from the CD.
Hope this helps!

Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE Need Device Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone may be able to help. My father has been given a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 (Model Num PSAAPE-00T00KEN) that someone has tried to do a fresh install of windows XP Professional sp2 on. The problem is all the device drivers have been written over and there is no driver disc with the laptop. After looking on the Toshiba website I'm having trouble locating the drivers for this exact model. Could anyone point me in the direction of said drivers or a link to them and also in what order I should download them.
Thanks for you help, Mick

What about binary Device Drivers?

I know that the current view of the Linux devs is that you can't improve the kernel AND provide a stable binary interface for device drivers. They have a valid point, but I think that there is a way to have the best of both worlds. The folks coding NDISwrapper have done some amazing work getting M$ drivers to work in linux through encapsulation. The Uniform Driver Interface (project-udi) has some very interesting ideas on portable device drivers, but their scope is limited to providing an API only, not an ABI.
If there were a way to merge the 3 philosophies together by creating a kernel module that provided a stable API AND ABI to LINUX-specific binary drivers, the world of hardware could be opened up to Linux. Hardware manufacturers like Nvidia, ATI, and Thompson (Who are already somewhat Linux friendly) would be able to create binary drivers that actually WORK with Linux. Hardcore coders would still be able to reverse engineer the device to build the kind of great Linux drivers we have today and still put preasure on the big guys to open their standards up to the world. However, the Linux community as a whole would benifit from the compromise.
I feel confident that I will get flamed here, but a project like this has real potential.
PS: Does anyone know of any projects out there already with these goals in mind?

I think some of you are missing the point. Of course we all use Linux - and we think it's great - and that open source in general is great.
Duke said:
When dealing with binary device drivers, they are not part of the kernel and need to be installed seperately, and often are not part of distributions due to legality of redistributing them, therefore they must be fetched and installed afterwards, often a pain.
You are completely correct on this point. However, providing a stable platform for binary drivers would allow vendors to distribute their Linux drivers in their retail packaging. I tend to keep all my driver disks for M$ use. If a vendor had Linux drivers on those cds as well, I personally wouldn't be maintaining anything extra. Plus, you could always archive the retail drivers on your internal FTP server or USB HD.
Duke said:
If binary drivers are released it may also prevent open source drivers to be developed since, well, there are already working drivers, and even if they're binary many people consider them "good enough". [...] Why develop open source drivers if there are binary drivers the work "ok"?
There are at least 4 reasons to keep developing OSS drivers. Firstly, there would be a bit of latency involved with adding an interface to the kernel - so a built-in module would always be preferable. Second, the kernel developers would not be content to let manufacturers drive their creative processes - and so would make their own way through. Thirdly, Linus Torvalds started Linux as a hobby (although it has evolved since then) to learn more about OS programming. A lot of people use the kernel as a learning ground - and could continue doing so for the shear fun of it! and Fouthly:
Duke said:
Open source drivers are GOOD, since they can be ported to different operating systems and knowledge can be SHARED
i3839 said:
Another point is that the Linux kernel has no stable ABI, and it's progressing rather fast. That means that if the kernel changes often the binary drivers must be changed too, but that will always lag behind and may cause instability until it's fixed.
That is exactly why, if binary drivers are to be used, an interface should be created to facilitate this usage.
i3839 said:
Only reason nvidia and co get away with their closed driver is because it is a Windows one with a GPL'ed wrapper around it to make it work in Linux, and thus arguably not derived from the Linux kernel
That's not true. the Official Nvidia drivers have to be compiled against your running kernel. You need the kernel source if Nvidia has not already built a binary for that kernel version.
i3839 said:
The NDIS wrappers only work because they work with Windows drivers. They can't work with closed source Linux drivers thanks to the GPL.
How do you figure? Whether it's closed source windows code or Linux code, it doesn't modify the kernel's code one bit. Plus the wrapper is OSS, it just provides an interface to the binary driver. One major difference in what I propose is that the Linux drivers would be linux binaries, not Windows binaries, and therefore allow for one less layer of abstraction..

MAX 14.0 broken and database corrupt after installing LV2014 and latest device drivers

I have LV2012 and 2013 (both 32-bit) installed on my Win8.1 64-bit system and have used them without problem. I recently went through the agony of installing LV2014 32-bit from Dev Suite 2014 DS2 and the latest device drivers from the August 2014 DVD, and now MAX (v14.0) does not work. Firstly, it is slow to populate the System information display, secondly when I try to expand a tree I get a MAX Database Connection Error (see attached), and there is no software listed at all. Thirdly, devices are not listed properly even though appearing in Device Manager (eg. a CAN interface no longer lists CAN0 but does show the device but no configuration, same for USB DAQ devices I(see attached), and I do have CAN 14.0 installed), and there is nothing under Data Neighborhood.
Initial attempts to install LV2014 were prevented by the NI mDNS Responder and related services not stopping when required by the installer. This also affected attempts to repair MAX.
All 3 versions of LabVIEW run OK, but projects no longer include remote or RIO/FPGA hardware - possibly due to uninstalled support software - but without the software list in MAX I cannot tell what is and isn't installed.
I have performed a Reset Configuration Data, repaired MAX several times, uninstalled it (any all dependencies), turned of the firewall and virus software, and completely reinstalled LV2012, LV2013, LV2014, and device drivers, but with no change to the problem. I have now lost 2 whole days and I am getting desperate for a fix. Surely this cannot be the only case of this in the whole world.

Hi Dr.M
In order to workaround and repair your MAX problems , please see the following article (the Knowledge based article mentionned in the error):
I know you have been through a couple of these steps , but there may be some related links that could help as well.

As for your installation errors:
This error happens when a service gets hung up in a "stopping" state that does not allow the installer or uninstaller to remove it. This can happen with a number of different services, but it has appeared to happen mostly with the Lookout Citadel Server (lkcitadel server) and National Instruments Time Synchronization (lkTimeSync).
-To resolve the issue, open up the Services application by going to Start»Run and typing "services.msc" without the quotes. In the window that opens, find the service that the error message references. It will usually have a status of "Stopping."
-Double-click on the service to open the service's properties window as seen below.
-Try clicking Stop to stop the service. If this does not stop the service, set the service's type to Manualand restart the computer. It is safe to set the service to Manual because it will be started manually if it needs to run. After the restart, the service will not start automatically and you will be able to install or uninstall your software as necessary.
As for the devices not being visible have you downloaded the NI DAQmx drivers correctly(after installing LabVIEW).
