remote debugging windows98First of all,I'm sorry for my english

[Rosario Gallo]

First of all, I'm sorry for my english
I'm develop with LabWindows/CVI 7.1 on Win2k and I have a Pc test with Win98.
My problem is the use of remote debugging.
I tried it on two Pc with Win2k or WinXp and all function.
The problem rised when I connect Win2k and Win98 pc test. When I
launch the program on Win98, debug on Win2k not start.
I furthermore readed the application note "Getting Started with the LabWindows/CVI
Remote Debugger" and I followed every instruction on it, but useless.

AnyOne can help me??

Thanks very much

Rosario,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but CVI 7.1 does not support Windows 98. Only NT/2000/XP. So you will not be able to do this.

Hi LuisG,

thank for uour answer,

so, it's impossible for me debug the program on pc test.
Is there other way for to do this?? All acquisition hardware is present on
pc test. and I see that file format _dbg is different from, for example, the file format pdb of
microsoft where there are many tools for test the program.
Tools like windbg, distribuited with Platform SDK, not performe debug on platform LabWindows?

Have you any hint for me for solve the problem??

Thanks

Your best alternative, assuming that you are able to do it, is to upgrade the operating system in your test pc.

You cannot debug a CVI application using a thrid-party product.

National Instruments software that was released after Jan. 2004 -- and this includes drivers as well as application software -- does not support Windows 98. It might run in Windows 98, but it probably will not work properly. With CVI for example, the software will let you install a CVI distribution kit in Windows 98, but you cannot install CVI itself in Windows 98 -- the installer will not let you.

The only other possible alternative is to install an older version of CVI (CVI 7.0 for example) in your test pc, and then rebuild your project there and then debug it. CVI 7.0 did not support remote debugging, so you would have to install it directly in your test pc.

I'm sorry that I can't give you better news.
