Internet Toolkit for LabVIEW 2012 64-bit

[greatgrandpadog]

I have an application that is currently written under LabVIEW 2009. It requires the Internet Toolkit. I am trying to open it in LabVIEW 2012 (64-bit) (using Windows 7 64-bit). But LabVIEW 2012 cannot find the Internet Toolkit since it has been deprecated in LabVIEW 2012, so LabVIEW complains.

So I downloaded the LabVIEW 2012 Internet toolkit and tried to install it. When the installer tries to run it stops with an error message that says:

"NI LabVIEW 2012 (32-bit) or above must be installed before you can install NI
LabVIEW 2012 Internet Toolkit."

Can someone point me to where I can find the Internet Toolkit for LabVIEW 2012
(64-bit)?

Thank you,

Since you seem to understand that the Internet Toolkit has been deprecated, I don't understand your question. There is no 64 bit version of the toolkit. In fact, there are very few toolkits that do have a 64-bit version. In order to use the old, 32-bit version, you have to use it with the 32-bit version of LabVIEW, just like the message says.

Thank you, Dennis. The thing that I did not know for sure until now was that there is no 64 bit version of the Internet Toolkit.

Some of the contents of the internet toolkit has been added to recent LabVIEW versions. Other parts such as the LabVIEW based webserver have been replaced by the new seperate webserver application that LabVIEW needs for various other things too.

But most of the old internet Toolkit is simply written in LabVIEW too. So while it does not install into 64 Bit LabVIEW since the installer simply never got updated to know about 64 Bit LabVIEW, the VIs can be copied over and used anyhow. No guarantee that everything will work perfect out of the box as there could be 32<>64 bit issues sometimes, but a good chance anyhow.

This is also required for most other Toolkits since the Installers haven't been updated to know about 64 bit LabVIEW. Of course if the Toolkits use binary libraries (DLL's, shared libraries) then that can't work since those libraries would need to be ported to 64 bit first.

Thank you, Rolf. That is very good to know.
