Product Security and Critical Updates
Automating the Installation of NI Products
Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10
Unsupported Windows Operating Systems
The LabVIEW DSC Runtime allows you to run applications built with LabVIEW, the DSC Module, and the LabVIEW Application Builder on a computer without the DSC Module installed. The DSC Runtime contains components that enable the DSC Module features in the built applications.
The DSC Runtime has the following requirements:
The DSC Runtime supports the following operating systems:
Note Refer to Unsupported Windows Operating Systems for more information about support for Microsoft Windows OSes.
NI installs the DSC Runtime using NI Package Manager. If you do not already have NI software installed, the DSC Runtime installs NI Package Manager to handle the installation of your NI software. Visit ni.com/r/NIPMDownload to download NI Package Manager. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using NI Package Manager.
You can also install LabVIEW and the DSC Runtime by using the LabVIEW Platform media. To request additional LabVIEW Platform media, refer to the NI website.
Note If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.
Note The NI OPC Servers application installed with the DSC Runtime provides a temporary license for a two-hour evaluation period. You must activate a valid license to continue using the NI OPC Servers application after the evaluation period expires.
The LabVIEW 2021 DSC Module requires Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 4 (SP4) Express. This component is installed by default when you install the DSC Module.
To install the LabVIEW 2020 DSC Module on a machine that has a previous version of the DSC Module installed, you need to upgrade the Microsoft SQL Server version from 2008 R2 to 2012 SP4 Express. Because upgrading the Microsoft SQL Server affects the Citadel database, you must backup your Citadel data before upgrading. Refer to the Archiving Citadel Data topic in the LabVIEW Help for detailed information about archiving the Citadel database.

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 4.6.2, 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 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.
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.
The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit no longer supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8.x, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, or any 32-bit Windows operating system. Versions of this product that ship after May 1, 2021, may not install or execute correctly on these operating systems.
