In the NI Package Manager or NI Uninstaller window, find in the list. Click Repair and follow the prompts.
: Verify you are using a version of DAQmx compatible with 2017 (typically DAQmx 17.0 through DAQmx 21.0 ). You can check the NI-DAQmx and LabVIEW Compatibility Table for exact version matches.
You installed a version of NI-DAQmx that is either too old to recognize LabVIEW 2017 or too new to support it. Supported NI-DAQmx Versions for LabVIEW 2017 ni-daqmx driver support for labview 2017 is missing
You are dealing with a common software integration mismatch. This error typically manifests during system migrations, after operating system updates, or when another version of National Instruments (NI) software has inadvertently overridden older driver links.

When attempting to use LabVIEW 2017 with NI-DAQmx, you may encounter an error indicating that the NI-DAQmx driver support for LabVIEW 2017 is missing. This issue can occur due to an incomplete or corrupted installation of the NI-DAQmx driver or LabVIEW.
| Approach | Description | |----------|-------------| | | Uninstall current DAQmx and install NI-DAQmx 17.6 (last version with full LabVIEW 2017 support). May not support very new hardware. | | Upgrade LabVIEW | Move to LabVIEW 2019 or later – these support DAQmx 19.0–21.x. | | Manual VI migration | Copy VIs from a newer LabVIEW + DAQmx installation to LabVIEW 2017. Not officially supported; risk of broken VIs. | | Use .NET or C API | Call DAQmx functions via .NET or DLL in LabVIEW 2017, bypassing native palettes. Requires advanced coding. | You can check the NI-DAQmx and LabVIEW Compatibility
A: No. NI-DAQmx drivers have a support lifecycle. Starting with the 2021 release and onward, support for LabVIEW 2017 has been discontinued. For LabVIEW 2017, the last compatible driver version is NI-DAQmx 20.7 .
