Can I have installed the 5.5 and 6.0 versions at the same PC?

Hi to all,
I had the LabWindows 5.5 version installed at my PC.
When I got the 6.0 version I installed it without uninstalling the 5.5 one.
I reinstalled NI-DAQ and I think I installed CVI support and it was installed in the directory on CVI 6.0 because I can run and compile ok with the 6.0 version the projects created with the previous one.
But, when I launch LabWindows 5.5, it doesn't have the DAQ libraries (Ni-DAQ) actives, and I can't compile the projects that uses it.
I have tried to reinstall NI-DAQ in the directory on CVI 5.5, but this operation remove the installation on CVI 6.0.
This is my question: Can I have installed the 5.5 and 6.0 versions of LabWindows installed at the same PC, using
the same NI-DAQ library?

Note: I don't want to run both versions of LabWindows at the same time: I want to have the posibility to decide within both versions each time.


Thanks a lot,
silmarba

Try posting this question on the LabWindows/CVI forum - you'll get a better answer there than in the Measurement Studio for VC++ forum. Thanks.

Read the following KnowledgeBase entry off of ni.com and follow Option 2. You will need to copy the dataacq.* files from one of your CVI installations' \bin directory to the other's.

Thanks a lot Jason,
It was just all I need.

I copied the dataacq.* files at CVI 5.5 directories and it worked very well.

Best regards,
silmarba.
PD: I am sorry because I post my question at Visual C++ place instead of LabWindows one.
