Why Does the NationalInstruments.Common.dll Have an Exclamation Point Next to it? Primary Software: Measurement Studio>>.NET SupportPrimary Software Version: 7.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: Driver Software>>NI-488.2, Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx, Driver Software>>NI-VISA
Problem: I have MeasurementStudioVS2003 and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and I am trying to open an example .NET project, but I am unable to run the project because I am getting an error telling me that I do not have the NationalInstruments.Common.dll reference. Also, there is an exclamation point next to the NationalInstruments.Common.dll under the references section in the Solution Explorer. How can correct this error, and how do I get the NationalInstruments.Common.dll to work in my application? Solution: The NationalInstruments.Common.dll should be located in the Assemblies folder in the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\DotNET\Assemblies\Current. You should also find the other NationalInstruments.xxxxx.dll of other drivers that you have installed on your computer located in this folder (for example - NationalInstruments.NI4882.dll, NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll, or NationalInstruments.VisaNS.dll). If you do not see the NationalInstruments.Common.dll in this location, first try a search and see if you can find it in a different location. If the DLL is in a different location, copy it to the directory where the other .NET Assemblies are located. If you cannot find the NationalInstruments.Common.dll anywhere on your computer, then most likely something was corrupted during the installation procedure. By simply repairing the NI Measurement Studio Common .NET Language Assemblies for the .NET Framework 1.1 should correctly install the NationalInstruments.Common.dll in the correct location. To repair this software, follow these steps: 1) Open the Control Panel. 2) Click on Add or Remove Programs. 3) Find the National Instruments Software and click on the Change button. 4) Find and highlight the NI Measurement Studio Common .NET Language Assemblies for the .NET Framework 1.1 under the NI Products section. 5) Select the Repair button in order to reinstall any missing files.
