If you have installed NI-DAQmx 19.0 or later (e.g., 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) alongside LabVIEW 2017, you will see the missing support error. NI stopped back-supporting LabVIEW 2017 after DAQmx 18.6. nidaqmx driver support for labview 2017 is missing
Introduction: A Frustrating Roadblock for Test Engineers | | LabVIEW 2017 Support | Notes |
For engineers and scientists who rely on National Instruments (NI) hardware, encountering the error message that can bring data acquisition projects to a screeching halt. This cryptic error typically appears when launching a LabVIEW 2017 Virtual Instrument (VI) that uses DAQmx functions, or when trying to open the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Instead of seeing your familiar list of devices, you are greeted with missing VIs, broken arrows, or a complete inability to recognize connected hardware. This cryptic error typically appears when launching a
