LabView 5.1 <--> LabView 6i

Hello,

I have a copy of LabView 5.1, but the OS at home is Windows2K, and my
experience is that LabView 5.1 doesnt' work with Win2K. Now, I have to write
in LabView 5.1 for my thesis, but I'd like to install LabView 6.01b3 at
home.

Are these 2 progs compatibel? So, when i write a VI in LV 6, will it work in
LV 5.1 ??

Thx,
Hans Spincemaille

You will have to save the vi for version 5.0 in File>>Save with Options>>Save for Previous. This will allow the vi to function in 5.1. Just make sure you don't use any functions that weren't available in version 5.

Er, in what way do you find that LabVIEW 5.1 doesn't work in Windows
2K. We're running all our code on Windows 2K and NT4 without any
problems under 5.1.1. The only 'problem' that I have seen is that the
LabVIEW 5.1 installer puts up a helpful error message saying 'Wrong
OS' under Windows 2000 and then proceeds to install itself just fine.
