Automating the Installation of NI Products
Unsupported Windows Operating Systems
DIAdem is the NI software for analyzing and documenting data from various sources.
For correct DIAdem performance, the following minimum requirements must be met:
| CPU | x64 compatible processor, 1.6 GHz or more |
| Amount of memory | 2 GB or more |
| Hard disk memory | Depending on the operating system, up to 6 GB free storage space on the system partition |
| Graphic card | Color depth at least 16-bit (High Color), 24-bit, or 32-bit (True Color) recommended |
| Screen resolution | From 1280x800 with a scaling step of 100% |
Note For automatic evaluation on server operating systems, NI recommends the use of the SystemLink module Analysis Automation instead of DIAdem.
Note DIAdem runs only with restrictions on the N or KN edition of Windows because the multimedia support is missing. You can obtain this as "Media Feature Pack" from Microsoft and install it later.
| Firewall | The firewall displays warnings while DIAdem installs and while DIAdem launches, for the following reasons: The usireg component executes during the installation of DataPlugins. The DataFinder, which you use for searching and navigating in files, then starts. When DIAdem launches, a DNS query determines whether to license locally or whether to use a license server. If you want to be able to use all the DIAdem functions, NI recommends that you select "Do not block" for all programs listed. This also applies when you want to evaluate DIAdem. Refer to ni.com/info under the winxpsp2 info code for more information. |
| Windows User Permissions | DIAdem and its components are basically executable under the pre-configured Microsoft Windows user accounts from User upwards. DIAdem must be installed with full administrator permissions. If you operate various DIAdem versions on one computer, you only have the entire range of functions in each version if you have administrator rights. |
Download the DIAdem installer from ni.com/downloads. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Help for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using NI Package Manager.

Preview features give an outlook on features in future versions. The functions to be unlocked are still under development and the user interface, the API, or the scope of functions may change. Enable this function in the Settings»DIAdem Settings» Preview Features dialog box.
For more information on DIAdem, go to the DIAdem help Help»Contents.
Use Help»Examples in DIAdem to start the DIAdem ExampleFinder. You can find DIAdem examples in the examples directory below the program directory. You can modify examples to suit your needs, or you can copy and paste parts of the examples into your own files.
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. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.
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 Online or Offline Installer in the NI Package Manager Help.
DIAdem no longer supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8.x, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, or other 32-bit Windows operating systems. Versions of this product that ship after May 1, 2021 may not install or execute correctly on these operating systems.
