Is Labview 6i compatible with win 2000 server sp4?

[CM@metaldyne]

My server was upgraded to SP3 for Windows 2000 Server. That is causing a msgina.dll not loaded fault. Have exhausted Microsoft hotfix but no improvement so would like to upgrade to SP4. Just want to make sure there have been no issues.

LabVIEW is not officially supported on Windows Server. It may work, then again, it may not. The release notes for the application indicates which operating systems are supported.

Talk about an old release! smercurio is right, LabVIEW never officially supported the Windows server variants. Not sure about 2000 but for Windows Server 2003 this was certainly for a reason as although you could install and run LabVIEW on there (no I don't think version 6i would install there) I know for sure you could run in some obscure behaviour sometimes.

Windows Server being a specific platform used in IT departements who usually would rather jump from a plane without parachute than letting someone else install an application on their systems, it makes not much sense for NI to spend much energy in trying to make LabVIEW work flawlessly on it.
