LabVIEW EPICS I/O Server

[Philip Taylor <pbt@observatorysciences.co.uk>]

I am trying to use the "native" (NI-supplied) EPICS I/O Server support for LabVIEW 
2009 without the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) module.

I followed the relevant download and installation instructions, as shown in this page:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/10812

Its worth mentioning that step 5 as shown on that page (and the file 
'epicsreadme.txt')  is identical to Step 2. I assume this is an error and should in 
fact state that a further software installation is to be done from the .msi file in 
folder EPICS_LVSupp_90?

Anyway, having performed the installation and restarted the National Instruments 
Variable Engine, I right-click on 'My Computer' target in a new Project window, 
select 'New>I/O Server' from the shortcut menu, select 'EPICS Client' option (this 
does appear) and finally click the 'Continue..' button.

A 'Configure EPICS Client I/O Server' dialog box should appear. But for me, nothing 
happens at all after I click the 'Continue' button. so I cannot configure an EPICS 
I/O Server.

I have repeated this installation now on 3 separate PCs, all behave the same. All 
are running LabVIEW 2009 on Windows XP.

Has anyone succeeded in configuring an EPICS I/O Server for LabVIEW 2009 without the 
Datalogging and Supervisory Control module?
