I have a LabView program written and complied in version 1.6? Is there a way to uncompile this program?

[maggie 456]

This LabView program was written and compiled by an employee who is no longer here. I need to be able to print the program and re-write it in a new version of LabView that works with Windows 2000. Is there a program that can un-compile Labview applications.

If by compiled, you actually mean a built .exe, then no. When building an executable (and I'm assuming that 1.6 worked the same as versions from the last decade), the diagram is removed and once removed, it is forever gone. Without a diagram, you can't edit or update to a newer version. If you can't locate the source code (VIs with diagrams), the only thing to do is start from scratch.

I assume you mean LabVIEW 6.1.
Building an application irreversibly removes the diagram of all, and the front panel of most VIs.

To get a list of VIs and subVIs contained in the executable, rename it from *.exe to *.llb. Then use the found VI names to scavenge through the programmers old computer for matching files. Maybe you get lucky!

Can you still contact him?

Given the correct version of a properly installed runtime engine, the program should probably work as-is under W2000. Have you tried?

Which version of the runtime engine are you refering to?
