Can I install Labview 7.0 sub-VIs to 8.6?

[dongyu]

I have a program made on Labview 7.0. I tried to run it on Labview 8.6. It tried to find the sub-VIs in 7.0 but failed. I am wondering if I can solve the problem by downloading and copying those Labview 7.0 sub-VIs into the Labview folder. Thanks!

What kind of files? Are these yours or part of some LabVIEW toolkit?

If they are your own subVIs, simply place them in the same folder as the toplevel VI.

You should never manually mess around in the LabVIEW hierarchy, or things will break again next time you upgrade.

A lot of new things has happends since labview 7.0. But expriment with the settings i have marked in the picture. Using the option vi.lib files should be avoided. But use it if nothing else works go for it. But if you use a lot of cursor dispaly perpare for shock. The new cursor display is butt ugly. And complete useless
