Dr Watson error when attempting to run an exe (LV 6.1) on NT OS

[Lupita]

When attempting to run the LV 6.1 EXE I created on an NT system using the Application Builder I get a Windows Dr Watson ERROR and I cant go any further. The code works fine when running from LV. So far I have tried:

1) Created a Distribution Kit (so the RTE would be installed) ...same error.  

2) I tried this same EXE on XP and it runs just fine.

P.S.

There is already an EXE running on this system (a previous version of the code) which was created using LV 5.1. Since I do not have the bld file I used the standard configuration (no dynamic VIs, just added the top level).

I really need to upgrade this system....thanks in advance for your help.

It would help if you told us what the error you are receiving is.

Hi Lupita,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  It looks like you are currently running a 5.1 executable and then attempting to run a LabVIEW 6.1 executable.  Are these operations intended to be simultaneous?  Are both executables being run simultaneous when you are testing this on the XP system?  Is it possible to halt the 5.1 application and test the 6.1 executable under these circumstances?  Also, I would recommend downloading the Run-Time engine for 6.1 here, and verify that this behavior still occurs.  There may be some shared resources that cannot be accessed, but I am currently unaware of how that would initiate a Drwtsn32.exe error.
