Use the Setup program that came with your NI-VXI/NI-VISA software 
to install the entire software package or a software update, or to reinstall 
software in the event that your files were accidentally erased. Some of 
the utilities rely on the LabWindows™/CVI™ Run-Time Engine. This 
software is installed, if necessary, during the NI-VXI/NI-VISA installation.

Depending on the type of installation you choose, you may need up to 
500 MB of free space on your hard drive to accommodate the NI-VXI and 
NI-VISA software.

Some x16 slots may not work correctly with MXI-Express adapters.
