LabVIEW 2020 32 bit EXE on windows 11 : will it work ?

[LVNinja]

I developed an application with LabVIEW 2020 32 bit on Windows 10. 

It uses Active X that call a program from Keyence. 

I checked with Keyence they say their program works on Windows 11. 

With the end of support on Windows 11, has anyone experience any issues running LV 2020 exez  32 Bit on Windows 11 ?

Well According to NI Product Compatibility for Microsoft Windows 11 LabVIEW LabVIEW 32-bit 2022 Q3 is the first version officially supported. But that doesn't mean a compiled EXE won't run. Frankly I would be more worried about DirectX failing than LabVIEW itself. As I have had so many compatibility problems with different versions of ActiveX in the past that I have abandoned using its methods.

Also "End of support" doesn't mean that Windows 10 will just stop working on that date. We have oscilloscopes that still run Windows XP in our lab and they work just fine.

We have EXEs from LabVIEW 2016 that run OK on Windows 11.

LabVIEW, when you consider just the basic operations that do not interact with hardware, is usually able to be loaded on operating systems released after it came out that its year versions do not officially support.

However, this starts to fall apart the more hardware and binary support you need.  For every device with a driver you add, and for every DLL call or ActiveX reference you add, you add another chance that something in that external code doesn't cooperate with a new Windows version.
