How do I correct version conflicts between host and RT engine?

[Dr_Laine]

I was running LabVIEW RT7.0 on a host PC (WinXP) and PXI-8145 system. I installed LV7.1 and LVRT7.1 on the host. However, the software versions in MAX still report as 7.0

I would like to upgrade to 7.1 on my 8145-RT. I cannot run 7.1 on the host and target the 7.0 RT engine (results in version conflict). Version 7.0 is installed on C:, but 7.1 is installed on 😧 due to space.

How can I get MAX to recognize my latest version (which should allow my to download it to the PXI)?

Thanks.

Locate the folders named "RT Images" on 😧 and C:. Make a backup of RT Images on C:, then copy the contents of RT Images from 😧 to RT Images on C:. Typical location of RT Images folder is "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\RT Images".

Keeping a backup of RT Images on C: is important so you don't have to reinstall LVRT to retrieve a few files in case something goes awry when you copy/move files around.

Thank you for the response.

C:\RT Images contains only a single folder for NI-PAL

However, I backed it up and copied the RT Images folder from D:, but still the same effect (MAX thinks 7.0 is the latest LabVIEW version).

D:\RT Images\LabVIEW\7.0 contains subfolders and install scripts (e.g., 7002.rts)

D:\RT Images\LabVIEW\7.1 contains subfolders but no install scripts. Also, there are many fewer files in these subfolders than in the 7.0 folder. I'm worried about trying to manually install from the 7.1 folder.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.
