LabView 8.5 and 2010 on the same XP machine?

[rwinsoft]

Is it possible to install both version 8.5 and 2010 on XP machine? And then work on some of the projects in Labview 8.5 and on other projects in Labview 2010 without a conflict?

How about device drivers? Which version of DAQ driver will work in both versions of Labview? 

Thanks much for any insite,

rita

yes, it works. I am using 8.6 and 2010 on the same machine (and I think 8.5 is also installed...).

the only problem is that you need to be careful : a file saved in 2010 can not be open back in 8.6.. So, I am using almost exclusively now the 2010 version

hope this helps

Always install older versions first. Some toolkits don't play well with multiple versions of LabVIEW. As for DAQ: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F4E76EC05118F72D8625773000672298
