BrokenArrow Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Has anyone had issues with upgrading to 8.5.1? The install went smooth for me, although it took half a day to do two computers (hosts and RT's). The only issue I have had is MAX thinks I have a different version of NI-DAQ on the RT vs. Host, so I can't make new DAQmx Tasks! -Richard Quote

rpursley Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 My installation went fine. It did take all day. I have opened and run 4 or 5 different projects and have not had any problems as of yet. Quote
Jim Kring Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I upgraded early last week and haven't have any problems. I've used it in several projects and found that it fixed a build issue we were having in one of them (related to locked libraries). Quote

I downloaded it -- had to wait just a bit for the NI activation process to come online -- but I've had no problems at all with 8.5.1. Quote

This ended up being a known issue (known to NI at least) with the NI-DAQmx driver that ships with 8.5.1. If you use a DAQmx in a RT chassis, you should download NI-DAQmx 8.7.1f3 from NI. Or (I guess) un-select the install of NI-DAQmx when you upgrade, thus leaving your NI-DAQmx as-is. -Richard Quote
Omar Mussa Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I just figured out that 8.5.1 does not really exist -- it is only in your minds. Check the LabVIEW.exe version number yourself. Quote

That's odd. v8.5.0.4002 is the version for my LabVIEW 8.5 exe...and I haven't installed the 8.5.1 upgrade yet. http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_04_2008/post-3266-1208594411.png' target="_blank"> Quote
Aristos Queue Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Check your upgrade notes. You'll note that there's all sorts of comments about the internal version number having not been bumped. You should also be aware of this. Quote
