If the driver is already on your system, you can often add the missing LabVIEW support without a full reinstall: Windows Control Panel Add or Remove Programs National Instruments Software and select Change/Remove In the list of features, ensure LabVIEW 2017 Support (or ADE Support) is checked. Finish the wizard and reboot your computer Verify via NI Package Manager (NIPM) nidaqmx driver support for labview 2017 is missing

If you are working with LabVIEW 2017, you likely have the installation media (ISOs) or a network install location. Run the NI-DAQmx installer again and select "Modify"
You don’t necessarily need to uninstall everything. Run the NI-DAQmx installer again and select "Modify" or "Repair." Ensure that "NI-DAQmx Support for LabVIEW 2017" is checked in the feature list. 2. Version Compatibility (The Bitness Trap)
Future work includes developing an open-source shim layer that translates DAQmx 20.0 calls to the 17.1 ABI.
