Advanced Setup Method

If you cannot use NIPM, then download the *.zip files from https://github.com/JKSH/LQ-Bindings/releases and manually extract their contents into their destinations:

  • lq-dev*.zip goes into your LabVIEW installation folder (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016\)
  • lq-runtime*.zip goes into the Program Files folder (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\)
