Have you tested this already?

It is not supported for sure, but it might be possible to get it to run on Win7.... never tried it though.

In order to handle legacy projects, you should talk with your IT department if you can leave an XP as virtual machine.

Making modifications to that project i highly recommend you to update both CVI and TS as first step.
 Otherwise, you will work with unsupported versions of the tools which is equally "risky: as keeping Win XP after April 2014.

Funny enough I am just building a VM Ware virtual PC as I type.  My main PC has NI 2012 full install already, so I am creating a VM Ware Windows XP PC for TestStand 3.5 and CVI 8.0 (and LabVIEW 2012).

Just did an experiment.  I created a LabVIEW 2012 VI with inputs and outputs then called it from TestStand 3.5.  It worked fine! 😕
