Solution

Solution 1
To resolve the issue, follow the below steps:
  1. Ensure the NI-DAQmx driver is compatible with your operating system, you can check the compatibility here: compatibility between the operating system and the NI-DAQmx version.
  2. Perform a Force Reinstall of the NI-DAQmx.

If a Force Reinstall fails to resolve the issue use the following steps:
  1. Uninstall all DAQmx Device Drivers  from National Instruments. (Uninstall using NI Package Manager)
  2. Shorten the file path to the downloaded driver, i.e. place it directly in the "downloads" folder on the computer
  3. Delete the NI-DAQ folder.
    a. This file is located at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ
  4. Disable any firewalls/antivirus software.
  5. Download the latest version of NI-DAQmx from the NI website.
  6. Install desired DAQmx driver as an administrator.
    a. Locate the folder containing your DAQmx download.
    b. Right click on setup.exe and select Run as administrator


Solution 2

Error 10009 is cause by a corrupt or incorrect install of the DAQmx driver. If Error 10009 occurs whilst installing DAQmx driver from a CD or USB, please download the DAQmx driver from the National Instruments download page. Alternatively you can also use NI Package Manager to install the DAQmx driver.

Additional Information

  • MIO Device Drivers is a component of the DAQmx installation. This driver installation error occurs when there is more than one driver package found in the NI-DAQ directory.
  • If you are on a company owned PC, especially those with a military or defence focus, also contact your IT. Ensure you have administrative permissions, folder read/write permissions, driver signing abilities, etc. We validate all installers on fresh OS installations and with administrative accounts that are supported in the readme. Often these errors are due to IT permissions or antivirus software to which end users are unaware.
