Hi

Does anyone knows if LabVIEW DSC works on XP embedded?
These two posts are interesting: WinCE post cRIO post

As far as my little experience in working with LV DSC goes, I dont think so it will work.

[Wiebe@CARYA]

Absolutelly not.

DCS uses OPC, and OPC is build on COM and DCOM, both M$. No way this will
ever work on any embedded device. Perhaps you can get some OPC programs
working on XPEmbedded and maybe even on CE, but since LabVIEW Embedded
compiles to generic C, it won't support OPC.

Hello jg-code,

XP Embedded is not a supported Operating System for running LabVIEW developement environment or the DSC Module.  This does not mean that it will not work, only that we do not guarantee that it will work.  One reason for this is that XP Embedded can be made into any variety of installations.  The following link may provide some useful information.

Thanks everyone.

Charlie, let me revise that. I missed the XP Embedded in the title. I though
you wanted to do LV embedded programming.

XP Embedded is in fact a more complete XP installation, if you install every
feature of it. So it should run just fine. It is not supported, but it will
work. We have LV executables running on it without any problem. When you
install programs, the programs have no way to distinguish between XP and XP
Embedded. But when you reduce XP Embedded, which is probably something you
want to do, you have to be very careful not to delete any dependancies.

Wiebe.

Yes.  I've don this on a RW touch panel running XPe. Installed the DSC RTE (note that this has a license fee), LV RTE, and the LV exe.  All went smoothly.

I did it once to my 2512 touch panel.  The only thing that took a while was setting up the DCOM settings.  I don't have specific instructions, by I think I used a Kepware white paper for step-by-step.  Of course if your DCOM is already setup, then you should be ok.

If y'all haven't seen NI now offically supports DSC on XPe with LabVIEW 2009

hello,

so I´ve read your post and now still have some hope to be able install DSC on a Touch Panel running Windows Embedded PosReady 2009.

The problem is the following: on the propietary touch panel there is only 700 MB of space left. What I did was to mount a SD Card on a hard drive (D:\). Now I would have enough space (32GB) but the DSC installer doesnt let me choose the installation folder.Is there a way to change the default installation folder???

Please help me to find a workaround to this problem

Thanks,
