Labview program version update

[mlwarren]

I have an old program written in Labview ver 5.0, but I am currently using Labview ver 8.5.  Is there an update program that I can download to bring the 5.0 code up to a level that I can open with 8.5?

Maybe the following links will help:

Converting VIs

Upgrading VIs From LabVIEW Versions Prior to 6.0 to LabVIEW Versions 8.5 and Later

I tried this, but I end up with the folloing error:

CompileFile: error 1126

Any ideas?

What is the "this" that you tried?

The first link Altenbach gave mentions a conversion program.  I guess this is the mysterious program that is mentioned in other threads but no one seems to have actually seen.  Does it actually exist?  According to the second link, that conversion program is to get versions earlier than 4.0 up to 4.0.

As far as I know, you need to have a version of LV between 6 and 8.2 to first open the LV 5.1 files and save tehm before LV 8.5 or 8.6 can open them.

Sorry, by 'This' I meant 'Mass Compile' in version 8.5.  I had to 'Mass compile' the code in LabView 7.0 then I could compile it in 8.5.

Thanks for the help.
