labview2010 files are not working properly on windows 10

[EdwardKINTEK]

I have installed a program (.exe) that was made on Labview2010 for an instrument on a Windows 10 operating system. Does the operation system matter? what can i do to make it run properly?

• If you say "Installed", does it mean that you built an installer and executed it on the target (or did you just copy the files over manually).
• What are the error messages you are getting?
• What is your definition of "not working properly"?
• What is the program doing?
• Did you install the correct LabVIEW runtime engine and required drivers?

(LabVIEW 2010 is probably not officially supported under windows 10, but it should work unless you do some weird things)

I have a installer executable  that is used to read temperatures for  thermoprobes from a TL2 that was done in Labview2010.  it works in Windows 7 OS ,but not in Windows 10 OS

The program should just show the temperature reading on channel 1 and channel 2.(Dual Channel)

What I mean by "not working properly?

The program opens and connects but  doesnt pick up temperature readings from the instrument.

A Datasocket Server is involved for the transfer in data from the TL2 but seems not to connect with the two Processes: temperature channels

Do i need to install Labview Runtime engine for an executable file that is meant to work with the instrument?

Do you think is the Datasocket that may be interupting?

Do you think i should get the built project labview files for that instrument and open it in labview 2015?

I was under the assumption that the TL2 probe driver (exe)  that was builted was working properly but it just now working in Windows10.

I am pretty new with this Labview and i really appreciate your input.

I will try to install Labview runtime

If the program opens, you don't need to worry abou the runtime engine.

Where is the datasocket server running?

Does it work if you run the program as administrator (right-click...run as administrator).

[EdwardKINTEK]

Yes

[altenbach]

Yes to what question?

[EdwardKINTEK]

The datasocket server in running in the background.

This is an example how the program should be running

My problem is the channel 1 and channel 2 temp reading dont show on another computer running in windows 10 OS.

I am trying to find out if its a compability issue or program issue?

[EdwardKINTEK]

yes it works if you run the program as administrator,but it still doesnt read the temp reading

DataSockets are REALY old technology.  I would not be surprised one bit if Windows 10 is blocking them or changed something so that they do not work anymore.  I would actually recommend you rewrite your code to use Network Published Shared Variables or UDP to share your data.

Thank you that gives me a sense of direction to work on thank you
