I recently purchased a new PC with Windows 10 for my home use. I have two GPIB-ENET Ethernet GPIB controllers that I use with Labview 2011 to run my test equipment. The whole reason I went with Ethernet was to remove any problems with NI not having driver support for an obsolete PC bus. I had been using these with Windows XP 32-bit. The problem now is that I seem to be unable to install the software for them under Windows 10. I tried XP compatibility mode and it comes up with some obsure error. To use them with Labview 2011, I had been using the 2.2.4.3500 version as the 2.2.8 that was included no longer supported it. Strange as its Ethernet.
The only way I have found that I can use them is to use Oracle VM VirtualBox and create a Windows XP image. I then install and run Labview under XP. Everything works find but I can't believe I need to go to this to get an Ethernet device that NI produced working.
Looks like $1200/ea for the 1G controllers. I really don't need that sort of BW on GPIB and can't see investing it all new hardware a second time for home use.
Does anyone else know of a way to get these working with Windows 10?
