LV2010 apps not working on Win7-64bit? Check this...

Just thought I would pass along something that I could not find in a search, but eventually discovered myself.  I just got upgraded to a new PC with Win7-64bit, and even after installing the LV2010 runtimes, device drivers, etc., even the simplest compiled LV .exe application (a toggle switch connected to a light) would not run. Windows was no help, just saying that the program caused an error and was being closed.  Eventually I checked the Event logs, and found the issue was related to a file named niwebserver.conf.  Long story short, a few years ago I was experimenting with remote panels, and had turned on the Remote Panel Server (Tools -> Options -> Web Server -> Enable Remote Panel Server).  The experiments were abandoned, but I never turned the server off.  It turns out the configuration file generated (niwebserver.conf) is incompatible with Win7-64.  The best solution is to recompile with the server disabled.  If not possible, and remote panel is not being used, try deleting the niwebserver.conf file, as this will sometimes work.
