Issue Details

I have a LabVIEW application that uses the DAQmx driver functions. When I run the VI, I get the following error:

Error loading "nilvaiu.dll" . Invalid access to memory location.

Solution

This error could be caused by an incomplete or corrupt installation of NI-DAQmx. You can try the following to resolve the error:

  • Repair the DAQmx driver.
  • Uninstall NI-DAQmx completely and then reinstall by running the installer as an administrator.
