I have a large LabView application (Win 2000) with which I need to communicate from another machine (Win XP Pro) using the DataSocket Server (dstp).I do not have LabView on the Win XP machine, so I compiled a small LabView application to run on it. I have installed the Labview Runtime Engine 7.1 on the Win XP box corresponding to my version of LabView on the Win 2000 box. The data being transferred is cluster data (booleans, doubles, and ints) that has been flattened into a string. The problem is that some of the data is being corrupted some of the time. For example, one of the numeric fields has the value of 1000, but it is being displayed on the Win XP box as 831. If I change the data to say, 1100, it is displayed correctly. The corruption is predictible, and depends on the data values. I am not getting any errors on the connection.If I run this same application on the Win 2000 box, it runs fine. Is there some compatibility issue between Win2000 and Win XP for compiled applications? What else might I be doing wrong?

DataSocket Data Error

Avi,

Thank you very much for the suggestions. This makes sense as this is a legacy system that I inherited from our customer. I am out of the facility for the next several days, but when I return, I will verify the fix and post the results here.

Avi,

That suggestion took care of the problem (as well as some seemingly unrelated issues). Thanks for the help!
