Runtime engine clash?

[ToeCutter]

Anyone know if it's possible to install LV2011 and LV2013 run time engines on the same machine? I want to run some older exes alongside their newer counterparts.

Yes, you can install multiple versions of the run-time engine on the same computer. A compiled LabVIEW application will automatically run in the correct run-time for the version in which it was built (and will give you an error if that version is not installed).

Many thanks, Nathan!

Hi,

For some additional general information about exactly which Runtime Engines can be installed with each other, take a look at the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine Compatibility Knowledgebase article. It has a bit of additional information explaining the compatibility with SP1 versions and 64-bit vs 32-bit.
