Hi,
I am new to using third party labview drivers. I have a labview driver for Chroma 63600 loads that I want to use in TestStand 2012.
However when I load the vi. I get an error 'cannot load Runtime engine verion 7.0, only 8.0 and later versions are supported'
I have Labview Runtime Engine version 7.0 Installed on my Windows 7 machine.
Could anyone please let me know, How I could resolve this issue?
Please see attached driver for Chroma Loads
Solved! Go to Solution.

Pretty obvious that you need to download and install Run-Time Engine 8.0

I have installed LVRuntime Engine 8.0 and I still have the same error message.
Therefore it is not 'pretty' obvious,atleast to me.

Thank you very much.
I just realised that I can only use 8.0 or later on teststand 2012.

That is not what you wrote in your first post --->
I have Labview Runtime Engine version 7.0 Installed on my Windows 7 machine.

Well I do accept that.
However,your 'pretty' obvious answer to that post is not the solution. Am I right?
Installing the 8.0 DOES NOT fix the issue.
Thank you very much again

Run-Time Engine goes with the version of LabVIEW.
You did not mention which version of LabVIEW you were using, did you?
The attachment you put in your first post chr63600_LabView_V11.zip I incorrectly assumed you were using the LabVIEW 2011.

To avoid more confuison,Here is the scenario,
The version that was on the driver attached is from the driver manufacturer.
I do not have any version of labview INSTALLED on my system. I am using the driver in Test Stand 2012 using a labview adapter.
I make sure I match the VI version and the run time engine version on TestStand 2012 to load the VI.
But for this specific driver, I was not successful in loading the VI at all.
As I understood that only 8.0 OR LATER are supported on TS 2012, I have asked to upconvert the driver to work with 8.2.1 Labview runtime engine.
I have now got a.LLB file of the driver mass compiled in Labview 2012 from discussion boards( and also attached here). I have tried the mass compiled LLB file on TS2012 but still have issues loading the VI as it moans about different version of SUB VIs.
However I am still trying to fix this version incomaptibilies. Any help would be much appreciated
