Is it possible to create 32 bit applications on a 64 bit machine

Solved!
Go to solution

My current Test Stations are 32 bit computers running XP. I would like to update my development computer to a 64 bit. If I install Labview 2012 32bit on the 64 bit computer will applications created in the app builder be able to run on 32 bit computers?

LabVIEW bitness, not the operating system, determines the application bitness . So - yes, you can create 32bit applications on 64bit system with LabVIEW 32bit.

I do this right now.  Have Windows 7 64-bit.  But I'm using LabVIEW 32-bit, so the builds create 32-bit executables.  If I used the 64-bit version of LabVIEW, then I would get 64-bit executables.  You can't run anything 64-bit on a 32-bit OS.
