How to install Modbus Library on LV 64bit

[Dave_Thomson]

I have a client who is using LV 2018, 64bit on W10. They have a site license that includes basically everything, including RT. We need to interface to a Modbus device. My favorite Modbus library is the one that comes with RT with the yellow banner. Since RT is not supported on 64bit LV, they cannot install RT. But they have the license that should allow them to use the Modbus Library, and since Modbus just uses Ethernet and Serial, both through VISA, and VISA is supported in LV 64bit, I strongly suspect that the Modbus Library would be fine in LV 64bit.

Is there some way we can get the Modbus Library that comes with LV RT installed in LV 64?

Thanks,

I can't address your question specifically, but... In general 32bit toolkits/ add-ons will not install on 64bit LabVIEW.

I copied the directory from LV 2016 32 to LV 2016 64. I don't have hardware to test it with, but the VI's open just fine and show no errors. Again, I strongly suspect that this particular library would be compatible with 64bit. I agree that the RT Toolkit, which is 32bit only, cannot be installed  under 64. But surely someone else would have had a need for Modbus on LV 64bit by now. I can just copy the folder to my client's machine. That will probably work. But it would be nice if there were a way to do a real install of this library, which would get the examples and such as well.

From what I remember, the library is built on VISA so I wouldn't expect issues moving between bitnesses.
