multiple installation

[julesjay]

Is that possible to install 2 different versions of labview on a same computer?

For example I've LabVIEW 7.1 installed and I would like to install a 5.1 version.

Has anybody try this?? Is there any trouble??

thanks

Hello,

it´s no problem to install different versions of LV on one PC. While my time by NI I had running up to 4 differnt versions. But there should run only one version at the same time.

You can also run multiple copies of labview (same version):smileywink:

You can have two different versions of labview runningat the same time.
Not recommended in general setup- certain functionality is lost ( unable to find examples) .

If you follow advice from previous thread then environments are stable.

And subsidiary question: I would like to install labview 5.1 on a  Windows XP computer.

it works or not?

Check this links, http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A79C1377D512156C86256F320053186B

and http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/E001E0210C5D259686256CE9005832D0

The problem will be, that LV 5.1 was offered, befor the OS Win XP was on the market. So there was no possibility to check LV 5.1 with Win XP.

Hi julesjay,

Unfornutaley, we have made nothing for LabVIEW 5.1 and windows XP. You need test if during the installation do you have message with "Wrong OS", if do you haven't this message you can use it. But all computer with windows XP don't supported LabVIEW 5.1. See my link that we have customer they have try to install LabVIEW 5.1 under Windows XP.
