How to use CVI 2009 with CVI 2012 installed

[HMRJ]

I have TestStand 2012 / CVI 2012 installed. 

I need to also test using teststand 4.2.1 / CVI 2009.

I installed teststand 4.2.1 / CVI 2009 and can activate teststand 4.2.1 but I cannot access CVI 2009. 

Is there any way to have CVI2009/2012 both available on the same computer? 

Is there a way to compile CVI 2012 to work with TestStand 4.2.1?

Hi HMRJ,

You can have multiple versions of CVI installed on the same computer. Can you explain in detail what you mean when you say that you cannot access CVI 2009? Do you mean that you can't open it or can't activate it?

I am not sure I understand what you mean by compiling CVI 2012 to work with TestStand 4.2.1. You should be able to create a DLL from CVI 2012 and call this code module from TestStand. Are you receiving any errors when you try to do this?
