NI-FBUS software.
Caution If you are reinstalling the NI-FBUS software over an existing version, write down
your board configuration and any port configuration parameters you changed from the
default settings. Reinstalling may cause you to lose any existing board and port
configuration information.

privileges.
2. Insert installation disk 1 or your NI-FBUS program CD.
3. Select Start»Run.
4. In the Run dialog box, enter x:\setup, where x is the letter of the drive
containing the disk (usually a or b).
The interactive setup program takes you through the necessary steps to
install the software.
5. At the end of the setup, the installer starts the NI-FBUS Interface
Configuration Utility as shown in Figure2-1. If you have not yet
installed your HSE linking device, click OK to return. You will
install your HSE linking device in a later step.
The installation program copies nifb.dll into the \System32 directory.
The installation program also adds information to the Windows Registry.
