TestStand cannot locate a LabVIEW Run-Time Engine of version '9.0' and bitness '64-bit'.

[NI_User_7801]

So as a start I'm still pretty new at Labview and Test-stand in general but I'm hoping there's a solution to these errors.

To give some context we used to have a computer that ran this sequence but in time was reformatted and used somewhere else, now we need to start up this project again but I am having issues getting the test stand to run the sequence. It was created back in 2012 so quite old and I have the latest test stand installed on this laptop so not sure if that is busy creating an issue with running it. I've attached some screenshots of the error's and as well as the computer specs.

Any advice as to how I can go to solving this problem?

Whether both the LabVIEW and TestStand are running in  64 bit?

If both are running in different bitness (32 and 64), it wont work in RTE.

Hi,

Windows has this thing where you can't mix 64-bit and 32-bit components in the same process.  It seems that you are using Teststand (64-bit) and are trying to call a vi using a 32-bit runtime engine.  This isn't going to work.  Try installing (or using if it's already installed), the 32-bit version of Teststand.  That should resolve your problem.

Hope that helps...

Hi,

My old application is missing LabVIEW runtime engine of version 15 32bit. Should I install RTE of year 2015 32 bit to my new computer? I already have installed 2024 Q3  32bit version.

Since you posted here (instead of the LabVIEW forum) can we assume your question is somehow related to NI Teststand? Please clarify.

Yes, you can install any runtime version, even if you have LabVIEW installed. Of course there could be problems because 2015 is not tested in windows 11 (details). Does your application just need the runtime or does it also require specific drivers, for example?
