Didn't know if that meant that MAX woudl not be installed so I deleted from the target system and it showed up again after deployed the new build and it talks to the 488 instruments. So I am not sure what to make of this error. Maybe MAX will work but some esoteric feature will not work?
Inquiring minds want to know....
Thanks,
