When trying to install NI-VISA 16.0 on Windows 10 (64-bit OS and 64-bit processor), NI's installer gets about 90% of the way through installation and then my PC freezes completely (i.e. Screen doesn't update, no mouse or keyboard interaction, need to restart my PC) and it fails to install.
I tried installing uninstalling all NI products and installing an earlier version of NI-VISA (15.0.1) just to see if that would work and received an error popup during install:
The "VISA.NET Shared Components 64-Bit" installation has failed with the following error:
VISA Shared Components 5.5 or higher must be installed before installing VISA.NET Shared Components.
According to IVI, these Shared Components should be included in the NI-VISA install from the vendor (i.e. NI), but apparently aren't or can't be found by the installer.
Anyone have any ideas on this or have any success installing NI-VISA 15.0/16.0 on Win 10 64-bit?
Thanks.
