Installing labview 2016 on Windows 10

[ssaib]

Hi, 

I am trying to install Labview 2016 so that I can run the vi that is created using 2016 version. Currently other vi's I use are compatible with 2020 SP1 but this one. When I was on the process of installing 2016, I encountered this issue:

"Xilinx Compilation Tools - ISE 14.7 for LabVIEW 2016

Unsupported operating system detected.
The Xilinx Compilation Tool for ISE 14.7 does not officially support Windows 8 or later. Refer to the readme file of this product for more information."

the computer is Windows 10 so I know that this ''Xilinx Compilation Tools" cannot be used, but is there a way around this?

All I want to do is to run the vi with my computer. Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards,

Sara

The older Xilinx ISE is only supported upto Win7, there is no official way around it.

You can use the FPGA compile farm service from NI if you need to…

Why do you even need to install the Xilinx tools when you want to "run the VI with your computer"?

Why do you need to install the LabVIEW-FPGA module?

What about the code you want to run makes it require LabVIEW 2016?  Instead of going backward4 (and soon, I hope, to be 5) Versions of LabVIEW, can you migrate, instead, to LabVIEW 2017 (at least) where you should not have the Xilinx issue?
