Help building a LabVIEW application in XP for a Windows 7 target

[ASteiner]

I just found out today that a LabVIEW application we need to deliver to a customer next week needs to run on Windows 7, but my machine with the app-builder is Windows XP and all of the computers in our office are XP only. Will I be able to build an executeable that will run on the customer's Windows 7 machine? Will the standard installer work with the version of the LabVIEW runtime I have available on their machine?

I am using LabVIEW 8.6/8.6.1 with App-builder 8.6. Thanks!

I won't talk in an absolute manner and I will only tell you my (little) experience: an installer (that includes an exe) built on XP (32-bit) worked just fine on a 7 (64-bit).

As much as I have noticed, the installer include packages for some different xx-bit versions. And the run-time engine should meet the version of the LabVIEW used to develope the app.

So far the only issue I have had with Win7 and LabVIEW builds is access rights of the program. I usually have to run the program in Admin mode for file access. Aside from that, I've not had any problems. I am using LabVIEW 2009.
