load VI from labVIEW 8.6 in labVIEW 7.1, run VI from later version

[k_pala]

I'm trying to use VI server to load and run application wrote in labView 8.6 using labView 7.1, becouse I don't have this library for 7.1, but when I'm trying to attach reference of 8.6 vi I can't do that,  "The selected file is not valid". How should I do that  ? 

 Thank you for replying

You migth be able to do this the hard way:

First you need some 8.6 applicatoin that has the VI-server .Net interface enabled.

In LabVIEW 7 you can open a .Net reference to this application and perform the normal VI-server routines.

So I can't use only two vi's on the same computer without .net or something, because I hace no idea how to do that.

Maybe other solutions, Please 🙂

What exactly are you trying to get out of this connection? Are you wanting to just remotely run the executable, or are you trying to view the front panel on your 7.1 machine and use its outputs? Something different?
