run-time engine

[DavidT]

Hi,
Ive built an .exe file in Labview 7 to run as a post-test data process on a machine with Labview 5.
I receive an error specifying that Labview "requires a Version 7.0 (or compatible) Labview Run-time engine."
I assumed that the Runtime engine was included in the exe file. Is there a conflict occuring b/w LV versions? Is there a way to convert the exe from Ver.7 to Ver.5 or is there another method to overcome this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

thankyou in advance,
David.

Each version of LabVIEW has it's own version of the Runtime engine. This is needed to support the different features of the different versions.

The Runtime engine can be included in the building of the .exe, the option to do this is on the last tab of the build dialog.

You can also download the engine separately. Go here fo a page that has all the versions to find the one you need.
