LabWindows/CVI

[Rgulbrandson]

Development Platform - CVI Version 8.5.1

Target has DAQmx 9.4 installed on it along with CVI Runtime Engine ver: 9.1.0.428

Developmenrt Platform was recently upgraded to DAQmx 9.4

Re-installed CVI RTE (ver 9.1.0.428) on Development Platform - even though it was already installed.

I keep on getting this error message on the Target system "The LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine on the target is more recent than your Lab Windows/CVI environment.  You have to upgrade the Lab/Windows environment if you want to debug your application."

Both systems (Development Platform & Target) have the same versions of CVI RTE and DAQmx.  I have done a complete re-compile of the application .exe that I am trying to excute on the Target.  I have re-installed CVI RTE on the Development Platform.

What is wrong here?

Instead of upgrading CVI RTE on the development system, you need to upgrade the CVI environment. From the environment, you can only debug applications that are equal to or earlier versions.

What is the "CVI environment"?  The application I am trying to debug was written on the development platform with CVI v8.51, and the copied to the target system.

LabWindows/CVI Environment == Development platform.

I.e.: you must either downgrade the runtime engine on your target to match the existing 8.5.1 of the debugging machine or upgrade CVI installation on the development machine to match the 9.1 on the target (if I'm not wrong 9.1 means CVI 2009 SP1). The two machines must have the same version or the debugging machine must be more recent than the target one.
