Will Labview 5.1 run on Windows XP or 2000?

[Bob Malinen]

I am currently in process of upgrading my workstation from Windows NT to either Window XP or 2000. I'm currently working in Labview 7 but I have a lot of vi's that were written in Labview 5.1 running under NT that still require some support and I'd like to not have to recompile all of them in Labview 6.1 or 7. Can anyone tell me whether Labview 5.1 will run under Windows XP or 2000 before I just have to try it out and see?

According to NI, LabView 5.1.1 is the first version tested and supported for Windows 2000. See Randy Hoskins' quote http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=50650000000800000010430000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0

It's not a problem. You can even run both LV 5.1 and 6 together (I've at least verified this on XP, but 2000 is pretty darn close). Not sure about LV 7 (or runnning all 3). You may have to tweak how Windows decides which version to run when a vi is opened.
