How do I convert a 7.0 application to a 6.1 version application?

[jb@capitalavionics.com]

I compiled an application using LabView 7.0 and I need to use it on another computer that only has version 6.1.  How do I convert a 7.0 application to a 6.1 version application? Or do I have to redo the entire thing?

Go to File>Save With Options and then select Save for Previous. If you used any features that exist only in LabVIEW 7.0, the conversion will fail.

Depends on exactly what you mean by "compiled"  (LabVIEW runs compiled code in both the development environment and built executables).

If you are talking about an executable that has been built using LV 7.0 then you shouldn't need to convert anything, just install the version 7.0 "Runtime Engine" on the machine on which you wish to run it. A machine can have multiple runtime engine versions installed at any given time.

If you are trying to run the code from the development environment then you would have to "save for previous version" from the version 7.0 development system - just as the other respondent described.
