Is LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module 2010 Compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time 2011

Primary Software: LabWindows/CVI Add-ons>>LabVIEW/CVI Real-Time Module
Primary Software Version: 2010
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>LabVIEW Real-Time Module

Problem:
I installed LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine for RT version 10.0.0 and LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0 to my real-time target. I then created a LabWindows/CVI Real-Time application and attempted to specify the execution target for debugging as my real-time target. I then received the following error message.



Is LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module 2010 compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time 2011?

Solution:
LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module 2010 is compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time 2011, but will require manual modification of cvilvrt.cdf to unlock compatibility between the versions. Because the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module 2010 was released before LabVIEW Real-Time 2011, a strict dependency was placed between LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine for RT and LabVIEW Real-Time 2010. This strict dependency is unnecessary and can be removed.

To remove the strict dependency, open C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\RT Images\CVI\10.0\cvilvrt.cdf in a text editor and change the XML node:

<DEPENDENCY TYPE="STRICT">
  <SOFTPKG NAME="{899452D2-C085-430B-B76D-7FDB33BB324A}" VERSION="10.0">
     <TITLE>LabVIEW Real-Time</TITLE>
  </SOFTPKG>
</DEPENDENCY>


to:

<DEPENDENCY>
  <SOFTPKG NAME="{899452D2-C085-430B-B76D-7FDB33BB324A}" VERSION="10.0">
    <TITLE>LabVIEW Real-Time</TITLE>
  </SOFTPKG>
</DEPENDENCY>


by removing Type="Strict". Then reinstall LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine for RT version 10.0.0 to the real-time target. Future releases of the LabWindows/CVI  Run-Time Engine for RT will not have this strict dependency.
