I need convert LabVIEW 4.0 files to LabVIEW 8.5. Can it be done?

[drc_ietest]

I am running LV8.5. I am upgrading and/or converting an old legacy system. All I have is the disk with the VIs from the old system. I do not have an older version of LV installed.

I can install all the way back to version 5.1. But I am concerned, can LV8.5 convert 5.1? The real question is what is the earliest version of LV that 8.5 will convert and will that version convert 4.0.1?

I have to imagine this has been done. With all the legacy systems going obsolete. This should be a common need.

The earliest version that 8.5 can convert is 6.0.

LabVIEW 8.2 can convert LV 4.0.1 files, which I was quite surprised (and happy) about when I needed to do it a few weeks ago.
So presumably LV 6 and 7 can also convert LV 4.0.1 files.

If it's not a lot of VIs and you don't have the necessary in-between LabVIEW versions you can post the VIs here and someone may be able to convert them for you.

Thanks for all of the responses. I have about 500+ VIs to convert. I would not be able to post them because of the nature of the projet but thanks for the suggestion. I have to imagine that someone in the office has 8.2 still floating around. I do not want to go back to 6 or 7. I will hunt for an older machine in the AM. Maybe a good job for an intern.

Thanks
