Open LabVIEW 8.0 files in LabVIEW 7.0

[castells]

Hello,

I have developed an application in LabVIEW 8.0 and built a standalone executable just to realize that I have to deploy it in a Windows NT computer that is not compatible with LV Run Time Engine 8.0 that only supports Windows 2000 and XP. I have tried to open the labView files (*.vi) using LabVIEW 7.0 but it gives me an error. Is there any easy and clean solution to import these files in LV 7.0 in order to build a new excutable and make it compatible with Windows NT?

Regards,

Toni

The only way to convert these files to version 7.0 is to first save them as 7.1 and then open them up in version 7.1 which can then save them as 7.0. If you don't have a copy of 7.0, then if you post the VIs, someone may do the conversion for you. If you have used anything in the program that is not supported in an older version of LabVIEW, you will have to rewrite it. In the long run, it might be simpler to just upgrade the NT computer to something that LabVIEW (and Microsoft) supports.
