You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use RFmx WCDMA 21.3 to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing RFmx WCDMA 21.3, you cannot use any installers built on this computer with any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio on an unsupported OS.
For detailed information about NI operating system support, visit http://www.ni.com/r/win32bitsupport.

RFmx WCDMA supports the following application software versions, including service packs. You should install application software, such as LabVIEW or Microsoft Visual Studio®, before installing RFmx WCDMA. If you are not using NI application software, refer to Microsoft Visual Studio Support.

• NI-RFSA 14.1 or later
• NI-RFSA 17.1 or later (for initializing debug session when "using breakpoints in C/C++/.NET application" is selected)
  

  
  

If you are using the RFmx WCDMA .NET Class Library, .NET Framework 4.0 (minimum) is required. The RFmx WCDMA .NET Class Library can be used with Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET in any Visual Studio version that can target .NET Framework 4.0 or .NET Framework 4.5.

Download the RFmx WCDMA installer from ni.com/downloads. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using NI Package Manager.
Notes

• If Windows Update is enabled, the installation process might hang if Windows Update interferes with the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Run-Time. Visit ni.com/r/exjq43 for more information and steps to resolve this issue.
• Use the serial number that is included with your software to activate RFmx WCDMA. For more information on RFmx WCDMA activation, refer to National Instruments Software Activation.

The following are the behavior changes in RFmx WCDMA 19.1 from RFmx WCDMA 19.0.

• Obsoleted RFmxWCDMA Analyze (IQ) and RFmxWCDMA Analyze (Spectrum) APIs. Use RFmxWCDMA Analyze (IQ, 1 Wfm) and RFmxWCDMA Analyze (Spectrum, 1 Wfm) APIs instead.
  

  
  

The following are the behavior changes in RFmx WCDMA 19.0 from RFmx WCDMA 3.0.

• Dropped support for LabVIEW 2015.
• Deprecated the Recommended I/Q Measurement Bandwidth property in RFInstr.
• Dropped support for RFmx WCDMA Measurement Interactive Panel.
  

  
  

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.
