I am not sure where this post should be since I am rather confused about the NI software products. I don't use Labview and I don't use Measurement Studio.
I am using NI-DAQmx with a custom software application created in Visual Studio 2015 using C# (.net 4.5). I've installed the drivers and NI development tools on the same PC as VS and everything works fine. When I install the application on another PC that doesn't have VS it doesn't work because I get an error that the DLLs aren't loading. I have included the two DLL files NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll in the project and they get copied to the target PC. What am I missing?
Does NI require a special, separate installation of the DLLs so they get registered? If so, what installer should I be using so I don't install all of the development stuff on a target PC?
What about drivers? I am using the 9217 temperature module and the 9171 single slot USB chassis.
Thanks.
