Can I tell Teststand to use 7.1 not 8.0?

Just been having a play about with Labview 8.0 and have then gone back to doing some stuff in Teststand 3.0 but have found that when I open up a .vi from Teststand it now uses Labview 8.0 rather than 7.1 which is the version we are using for the project. I've tried restarting everything but Teststand is very insistent it now wants to use 8.0!

Is there any way I can stop this happenning without un-installing Labview 8.0?

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Hi,
 
Launch LabVIEW 7.1 first to make it the active version. You can then close labVIEW.
 
Now when you open a VI from your sequence it will open up in LabVIEW 7.1

Hi Ray, Thanks for that - sure I tried that before and it didn't work, but it does now so I must have done something wrong.

Best regards,

The solution is:

TestStand 3.5->Configure->Adapters->LabVIEW [Configure]->choose version 7.1 from options

Thank you & Best Regards

*I use LabVIEW 2018 & TestStand 2021 versions
