2010 can open VIs written in LabVIEW 6.0 or newer. Just double click on the top level VI. You will also need to install any hardware drivers (i.e. GPIB, DAQ, etc) that the old program used.
With the evaluation version, you can create an exe but it will have a watermark on the front panel.

Additional information: Starting with LabVIEW 8 projects are used to manage your LabVIEW files and to create build specifications for executables. You should be able to import your old build spec into a new project. The LabVIEW Help contains an explanation of how to do this.
