LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine Backwards Compatibility Primary Software: LabWindows/CVI Run-Time EnginePrimary Software Version: 8.1.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: LabWindows/CVI Development Systems>>Base Package
Problem: Can I run an executable written in a previous version of LabWindows/CVI on a machine with the latest LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine? Solution: The LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine is backwards compatible and may be used with applications that were created with previous versions of LabWindows/CVI. When you build an application using a specific version of the LabWindows/CVI environment, that application does not require a specific version of the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine. The only requirement is that when it runs, that it can find a version of the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine whose version is equal or higher than the version of LabWindows/CVI which built the application. Therefore, it is possible to build an application with LabWindows/CVI 7.1, for example, and then run that application using the LabWindows/CVI 8.0 Run-Time Engine. Note The LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine must be installed on any Windows system where you plan to run executables or DLLs built using LabWindows/CVI. Note You do not need to un-install the previous version of the Run-Time Engine before installing this version.
