how to use nisyscfg PY API to read version of NI-DAQmx Device Driver? #36

On Windows, you can use get_installed_software_components.

import nisyscfg
with nisyscfg.Session() as session:
    for component in session.get_installed_software_components():
        if component.id == 'ni-daqmx-runtime-core':
            print(component.title, component.version)

Output: NI-DAQmx Runtime 20.1.0.49152-0+f0

ID Title Details
ni-daqmx NI-DAQmx This is the top-level package of NI-DAQmx. Use this to get the version listed in NI Package Manager.
ni-daqmx-runtime-core NI-DAQmx Runtime In NI MAX, this is the NI-DAQmx Device Driver.
ni-daqmx-config-support-core NI-DAQmx Runtime with Configuration Support In NI MAX, this is the NI-DAQmx MAX Configuration.
ni-daqmx-development-support NI-DAQmx Application Development Environment Support (Legacy) In NI MAX, this is the NI-DAQmx ADE Support (requires item_types=ALL_VISIBLE_AND_HIDDEN to be listed). Though, this is not as useful as of visible components such as ni-daqmx-labview-2020-support-x86, NI-DAQmx Support for LabVIEW 2020 (32-bit) which give the actual version of support for a given ADE.

property ID is not filtering provides "ni-daqmx-runtime-core" I replaced property ID to TITLE and received the Output: import nisyscfg with nisyscfg.Session() as session: for component in session.get_installed_software_components(): if component.title == 'NI-DAQmx Runtime 18.5': print(component.title, component.version, component.details, component.id)

the second issue, the code is running for local Session only. if use remote, like the following, code crashed with nisyscfg.Session(target=host) as session: for component in session.get_installed_software_components(): print(component.title, component.version, component.details)

error log: line 29, in print…. for component in session.get_installed_software_components(): File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\nisyscfg\system.py", line 576, in get_installed_software_components nisyscfg.errors.handle_error(self, error_code) File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\nisyscfg\errors.py", line 85, in handle_error raise LibraryError(status, description) nisyscfg.errors.LibraryError: Status.FAIL: Miscellaneous operation failure.

i printed all detected "component.title" and don't see "NI-DAQmx" separated:

The NI-DAQmx package was created as part of the 19.0 release in which installers were updated to be installed via NI Package Manager. Since, NI-DAQmx 18.5 is installed on the system, you will not see a NI-DAQmx component installed. Also before 19.0, the installers IDs will be GUIDs instead of package names.

It is possible that this API is not support by the remote target, or that the target supports Get Installed Software Set. The latter is not implemented in the nisyscfg Python API as feature has not been requested. What type of machine is the host? (such as hardware, OS, software versions, etc.)
