Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10
Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 8.1
Using NI-XNET with the Automotive Diagnostic Command Set
Automotive Diagnostic Command Set 19.0 supports the following operating systems:
1 NI software installs VC2015 Runtime and .NET 4.6.2. Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 require Microsoft updates to support these items. Refer to Microsoft KB2919442 and KB2919355 for more information about how to install these updates.
2 NI software is signed with a SHA-256 certificate. Windows 7 SP1, Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 require Microsoft updates to support SHA-256. Refer to Microsoft KB3033929 for more information about how to install this security update.
Note In 2016 National Instruments dropped support for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and installations of Windows 7 without any service packs. Automotive Diagnostic Command Set will not install or run on an unsupported OS. You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use Automotive Diagnostic Command Set to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing this version of Automotive Diagnostic Command Set, you cannot use any installers built on this computer with any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio on an unsupported OS.
For more information about the changes to our OS support for 2016, refer to KB 79UC78LS, Why Does my LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, or TestStand Built Installer Fail on Windows XP/Vista and Server 2003?.
Note Support for Windows 32-bit operating systems may require disabling physical address extension (PAE). To learn how this might affect your system and what actions you might need to take, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code PAESupport.

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.
When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX), and NI Launcher. For more information about NI support for Windows 8.1, visit ni.com/windows8.
If you are using NI hardware that is supported by NI-XNET, it is recommended that you use NI-XNET 19.0 or later with Automotive Diagnostic Command Set 19.0.
CAN FD features are only supported with NI-XNET version 17.0.1 or later.
NI does not recommend cRIO-901x and cRIO-902x targets for CAN FD.
NI recommends the following maximum message length for CAN FD based on the system RAM size.
| System RAM Size | Maximum Message Length |
|---|---|
| ≤512 MB | 8 MB |
| 512 MB – 3.5 GB | 64 MB |
| >3.5 GB | 256 MB |
