Internal Error: "config.cpp", line 429, LabVIEW version; ON WIN7 machine

[Dampfmaschine]

Hi,

running a very usefull but old labview.exe on my new Windows7 machine I get the error 

 >>Internal Error: "config.cpp", line 429 LabVIEW version<<

The .exe needs LV-Runtime-Engine 7.1 which is installed. On my old WinXP-machine the program ran without any problem.

I do not have anymore sources of this program.

Thank You

Define "but old". Are you referring to the LabVIEW development environment, or an application that was written? It's not clear since you mention labview.exe, but refer to the Run-Time Engine, and that's used with executables. So I'm guessing you're probably referring to a built application.

Have you tried installing it in XP mode on your Windows 7?

I'm referring to an application ....... .EXE  that was (probably) built with Labview 7.? by a colleague of mine because (if I remember right) it claimed a Run-time-engine 7.1 when I tried to start it the first time. After having installed this it comes up with the error (see above).

I did not try "installing in XP mode" on my Win7 because I did not know that this exists but I did set something like "run in XPcompatibility mode" which does not solve the problem.

To explain, I am not a specialist in both PC nor Labview. I just want/have to use this application which is a "personal working time mangement system" and served me for years.

Besides -as mechanical engineer- I am developing measurement applications with Labview 9.x environment.

Unless you have the source code for the program and know how to debug it (or upgrade it), I'd say your best bet is to just try installing it (and the Run-Time engine) in XP Mode. XP compatibility mode is not the same thing. XP Mode is an XP environment that runs in a virtual machine within Windows 7. You can get it for free from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx

I think my program won't work under the Virtual Machine because it has to be invoqued by the Group Policy Thing of Windows on PC startup and shutdown.

Thank You very much, it seems I have to accept in the end that software has a livetime under the dictum of MS.

Maybee I find some sparetime to programm it new on LV 9 or 10. At last it should be easy to write systemtime when those events occur into a logfile.

Or maybee someone has got such a program to share!??

Perhaps there are non-English characters on the .exe path
