Unable to locate Labview Runtime Engine

[bigdawg56]

I am trying to run a company developed LabVIEW Application that was written in LabVIEW 2014. It prompts me to download the 2014 runtime engine, but I am unable to since I am on Windows 10. I can only download the LabVIEW runtime engine 2015, 2016, or 2017.

Is there any way to run this application on Windows 10?

You can download the 2014 run time engine indepdendent of OS version and I am sure you should also be able to install and use it. Just try. (Windows 10 is not listed because it was not available when 2014 came out, but windows 10 typically has no problems running something compatible with Windows 😎

I really appreciate the help. I am up and running now. For some reason, the link in the error message that took me to download runtime engine 2014 was different than the link you just provided.

I am not sure where it took you, but there is LabVIEW 2014 and LabVIEW 2014SP1. Both should work, but given a choice i usually go with SP1 (service pack 1), which is slightly updated and comes out about half a year later than the first release.
