Is it possible to run my Labview software in Windows 7

Hi there,
I currently use Labview 8.2.1 and Labview DSC 8.2.1.
But within a short time I want to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7.
My question now is:
Is it possible to switch to Windows 7 without any problems?
Will the Labview software still run under Windows 7 without problems, or do I have to download new drivers or other software?
I hope to get a reaction soon.

Hi Cheese,
Official LabVIEW support/compatibility with Windows 7 is explained under the following articles.
National Instruments Product Compatibility for Microsoft Windows 7
Windows Version Compatibility with LabVIEW
LabVIEW Module and Toolkit Compatibility Information
On the forums, people seemed to have mixed reviews about older versions of LabVIEW with newer versions of Windows 7. Another piece of food for thought is Windows 7 (some versions) contain a "Windows XP Mode", which MAY allow you to run this version of LabVIEW in 7 however as the above articles show this is not the supported version. Essentially the XP mode allows virtualisation of XP OS on Windows 7. I've not personally tried it with this version of LabVIEW, but it's just an idea!
Windows Virtual PC
Upgrading to the latest version of LabVIEW will work and is fully supported.
Hope this may help

Is it possible to run SAS statistical software on Mac computers?

Is it possible to run SAS statistical software on Mac computers? I am looking to buy a Mac but I heard taht they had problems running SAS. Does anyone have experience running this statistical software on their computer?

I am not a SAS user but from what I found on various web sites, the latest Mac native version of SAS is version 6 (which goes back to 1999-2000...).
So if you want to use SAS on a current Mac, it will probably have to be a Windows version running on the Mac either using Apple's Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop for Mac virtualization application.

Is it possible to run a Labview executable on a Windows 8 Phone?

If I create an executable from Labview,will it be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, as Mike already said.
The reason being that a LabVIEW executable contains binary code that is compiled for the x86 CPU architecture and accesses the Win32 API. Windows Phone typically runs on ARM or RISC CPUs and did only provide a very limited Win32 subset in the past. With the new Windows RT technology it actually moved even further away from Win32 compatibility as it's entire architecture is based on the .Net technology.
So even if you happen to get an Intel Atom based Windows Phone device which would be x86 compatible it couldn't work, since a LabVIEW executable is a Win32 portable executable format not a .Net bytecode image.

Is it possible to run a LabVIEW LLB from Version 8.6.1 on a Version 8.6 platform?

We need to move a Version 8.6.1 LLB to a Version 8.6 platform. Assuming our 8.6.1 LLB does not use any 8.6.1 specific features, can I convert it to run under LabVIEW 8.6? Thanks!

One thing as a tip, don't usean LLB as a way to develop VIs in. Only use them for distributing code. If one of your VIs become broken, your whole LLB will be broken.

Actually this is not entirely true. The VIs itself are independant entitities in an LLB, so the brokeness of one of the VIs does not automatically have any influence on other VIs inside that LLB.
That said, the VIs do get written to the LLB individually, and although writing changes to an LLB is always done on a shadow copy of the LLB, which only replaces the original LLB AFTER the writing has been finished without any errors, there is of course always a chance that writing of a VI itself goes havoc in some ways. This could in principle destroy the integrity of the LLB data structure, and in such a way make the LLB as whole inaccessible. But because of the shadow copy technique it is a rather seldom event.

Running A LabVIEW executable in Windows 7

Can I run a Labview executable created with Labview 8.6(32-bit) in windows 7 or Vista. If this can be done then how to do it? I've tried copy the lvrt.dll(run-time engine) into the system 32 folder, but it doesn't solved my problem. For info, My Labview exe file also consist the fuzzy logic toolkit.
Hope someone will help me. Thanks.

hi lojius,
For that you need to install labview 8.6 run time engine which is freely downloadable....Please find it at the link

Running 2012 LabVIEW executable on Windows 7

I have a LabVIEW executable that I created under LabVIEW 2012, using Runtime Environment 2012 f3. All the software was created, and runs on Windows XP, 32-bit. The LabVIEW executable works without a problem on this system.
Now when I take that executable and run it on a laptop that has Windows 7 64-bit, and the LabVEIW RTE 2009, I get:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you’re running. Check your computer’s system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Create an installer for your EXE. By default the RTE is part of the installer. Run the installer on the computer you want to run your program.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Run Labview as different windows user (for database connectivity)

I have to connect to a corporate remote MSSQL-Database on the network, using the database connectivity toolkit for LabVIEW.
The db-authentification is realized checking the windows user (ads) who acceses the datebase (not a database user / password which is standard in the database vis)
Therefore I have to run LabVIEW as the defined windows user, different than the logged in user on the pc.
Is that possible to realize with LabVIEW?
Other Windows-tools allow to define the windows user/password which "run" an application - how can I do that with LabVIEW?

Hi Zav. There is a windows command 'runas' which _may_ let you do what you want; I haven't
tried what you need to do, but is has worked for other tasks for us. Try 'runas /?' for the switches.
You will have to build your LV program into an executable, then use runas to launch it. Is there
a reason you can't just login to Windows as the required user?
If you can get your db admin to allow dbuser/password authentication that would be a much better
way to go.

Is it possible to open a LabView VI in a Webbrowser or an HTML-File?

I want to know if it is possible to run a LABVIEW vi (Version 7.0) in a Webbrowser or a HTML-File.
Are there Browser Plugins or other possibilities to create Self - running VI`s ?

LV from Version 6.1 up has the capabilities to support remote panels via a WEB Browser: See the tutorials under
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/learningcenter.nsf/03f7c60f17aad210862567a90054a26c/2ad405a06ebed71586256c4e00621c73?OpenDocument
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/8BC90A5F744A482886256BA000681713?opendocument
All you need is the LV Runtime Engine installed on the machine where you want to view the running vi.
Additionally you can create standalone running vi's with the LV Application Builder which creates LV executables. These executables are also compatible with the remote panel functionality.

Is it possible to run 5.5 on windows 8.1??

Is it possible to run Photoshop 5.5 on Windows 8.1? I have a CD which I tried to run but when I click on install nothing is happening. I have CS6 trial already running on the laptop, so my question is, is it because I need to uninstall CS6 (although I haven't got a warning message come up to tell me to do that first before running 5.5, so don't want to get rid of the CS6 trial without making sure that it is the problem) or whether 5.5 will not run on Windows 8.1 anyway.
Your time and advice would be greatly appreciated, as need to know whether I need to return the 2nd hand 5.5 CD.

Thanks so much Gene. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.
Btw, should have been clearer as one couldn't imagine I meant that 5.5 (i.e. ancient one). The adobe website also has this info: Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop version 5 which just says version 5.5 under compatibility. So it does seem possible indeed to run this but perhaps for someone more techie. Had a look at the thread re: 6.0 and tried to run it as admin. Tried copying the contents on the desktop and change the compatibility under properties (even ran compatibility trouble shooter under properties) - but in vain. Must be doing something wrong. Prolly easier to return the CD (:/)
If anyone could drop an idea in relation to how/where to buy a genuine and legal copy of a CS5/CS6 I woudl greatly appreciate. I bought the 5.5 off eBay and probably will search for the right version this time on there again. But it's a bit of a question mark for me in regards to how do I make sure that I buy a genuine licenced version which I can register with the Adobe.

Is it possible to run a JAR?

My high school Computer Science teacher thinks it might be possible to run a JAR file in windows and have it run the java program (command promt type) in windows. I do not believe this is possible but he wanted me to check and see.
Also is there any other way to run a java program in the form of class files without going through the DOS prompt or a compiler? Duke dollars if you know a way.

when you install the JRE it should associate jar files
with the JVM, hence double-clicking on them will run
them. but....well... strictly they become associated with javaw
to make a jar an executalbe jar it needs a
'main-class' attribute in the manifest. That is make
a directory that goes in to the jar called META-INF
and in there a file called manifest.mf (just a plain
text file).thought i had already mentioned that!
test from the command line with
java -jar myjarfile
or
javaw -jar myjarfiledouble-click issues an identical command - if it doesn't work one way then it won't work the other
the difference between the java and javaw is that the
javaw will not open a DOS window. true!

Is it possible to run Add-On application seperately from Windows?

Hi,
Is anyone know if it is possible to run the Add-On from Windows with SAP B1 client ? For some reasons, i can't install the Add-On my server now during my development, but i need my QA tester to test these existing finished Add-Ons. Can I just pass all compiled binary files to my tester and let him run the Add-On from his PC and test it in his SAP B1 client? I tried, but it always gives me application crash error. But the add-on runs very well after installed in the the SAP B1 or under visual studio developping mode.
Thanks,
Lan

Hello
Yes it is possible. You can run the addon the same parameters as you run in the development environment. You can use the same connectionstring used during development.
1. Copy you addon into a folder
2. Create a bacth file (start.bat) with notepad, and enter there your addon name and the connectionstring
3. Run the batch file.
It will start and connect to sap b1.
I am also using this method to test the addons .

Is it possible to run LabVIEW 7.1 and 8.5 under the same Windows installation?

We have an older version of LabVIEW (7.1) which includes functionality for Event Notifications and the base version of LV8.3, which does not seem to contain this functionality.
Is it possible to run both of these from the same Windows Installation? If not I plan to create a new partition and a new Windows installation just to accomodate the two of them.

Something else to consider is windows compatibility. If you are running LabVIEW on Vista, I would highly discourage installation of Lv 7.1 and 8.5 on the same machine (even if they were different partitions), since there are some significant issues in terms harware compatibility.I am running windows 7.1 and 8.2.1 on a test station with no problems, but the OS is Win XP. My biggest gripe about the dual software system is when a v 7.1 files is opened up by 8.2.1. There is not a system to prevent it from happening, and once we accidentally save a 7.1 app in 8.2,1, going back to 7.1 is a big headache.

Is it possible to run labview app on windows embedded compact 7?

Is it possible to run Labview ver 6.5 with PowerPC as the target CPU and VxWorks as the target operating system? If version 6.5 does not support this configuration, do any of the later versions support it?

I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI. We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.

Hi,
I never heard of LabVIEW6.5. I only know of LV6i, LV6.1 and LV7.0...
Why don't you just call your next/regional NI sales rep?
