cannot load Runtime engine verion 7.0, only 8.0 and later versions are supported

[Sahiti2013]

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

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.

Hi Sahiti,

Teststand2012 only supports LabVIEW VIs starting from version 8.0.

When your VIs are older, you need to upconvert them. Other option would be to use an older Teststand version…

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.

[Sahiti2013]

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
