You realize that LabVIEW 6.0 is at least 15 years old? That would be almost equivalent to working with a Windows 98 machine nowadays!

Yes your picture can't be imported in LabVIEW 6.0 on my machine either. I haven't checked about all the details, but the LabVIEW import in 6.0 doesn't seem to work for png and gif images but only for bmp. Newer versions do work for your png file including honoring the transparency at least since version 7.1.
