Hi

Does LabVIEW run-time engine 8.5 support earlier version of LabVIEW compiled files and how far back does it support?

Best regards

Hello Simon,

The Run-Time Engines are not backwards compatible.  I.e. LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.5 cannot run executables made in LabVIEW 8.2.1.

So, you need to install the Run-time engine for the version of LabVIEW that the code was written in.  E.g. If your VI was written in LabVIEW 8.5, you need to have the LabVIEW 8.5 RTE (Run Time Engine) installed in order to run it after it is compiled into an executable. 

In order to check which Run-Time Engines you already have installed to your PC, browse to the following directory.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time
In that directory, you will find a different folder for every version of Run-Time Engine that you currently have installed onto your system.

Hope this helps!
