convert VI from windows 2000 to 98

[buckeye1]

Hi,

I am currently using Labview 7.1 on Windows 2000.  A subVI that I am trying to incorporate must use Windows 98.  Is there a way to convert a VI from Windows 98 to 2000? 

Thanks!

The last version of LabVIEW that supported win98 was 7.0. You can do a save as to save to a previous version and if you have a copy of 7.0, then you can install that on the win98 computer.

Is there anyway I can upgrade the VI from windows 98 so I can use it on the 2000?  There are too many other programs relying on 2000 for me to downgrade to 98.

I'm confused by what you are asking. The topic says you want to convert something to win98 and now you are asking to convert something to win2000. Any VI written on a win98 system should run on a win2K system unless you are a calling some OS specific API function. You had better explain in detail exactly what this VI does and what you want to do.

Hi Dennis,

Sorry about the confusion.  The subject should be convert from win98 to win2000. 

I am trying to use a VI that has been supplied by the manufacturer of a PMT.  Every time I run it an error results saying "Manager call not supported - stopped at node 0x1BC."  It's associated with a code interface node of one of their subVIs.  Their engineer says it is because this VI was written to work with win98 and not win2000 and apparently has been a problem before.  The code interface node is connected to register address, value to port, and write a byte or a word (F:byte).

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

And they won't rewrite their CIN? Shame on them. You may have to do it yourself. In older versions of LabVIEW, you could not use the inport/outport functions because the OS prevented direct access. You could download a special version and a DLL that permitted it. Now, recent versions of LabVIEW do permit this on 2K and XP. If you can get the information from the vendor, you could do it yourself. You can also read http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DEBD56A4E034080020E74861&p_...
