Using LV2009 to produce EXEs for Runtime Engine 8.6

[DanB1983]

Hi,

I am currently running LabVIEW version 8.6.  However, having purchased this less than a year ago, I think I am eligible to upgrade to v2009 for free.

At the moment, if I produce an EXE file using the Application Builder, my colleagues are able to run this on their machines using the LabVIEW Runtime Engine version 8.6.

If I upgrade to LabVIEW 2009, will all my colleagues who use the runtime engine also have to upgrade to the Runtime Engine 2009, or will I have the option to build an EXE file that is compatible with version 8.6 of the Runtime Engine.

Many Thanks,

Dan

There are no option for build "8.6" compatible application from LabVIEW 2009 (other than save for 8.6 and build in 8.6).

For LabVIEW 2009 - builded application you will need according version of the Run-Time Engine.

Important point, that Run-Time Engine version 2009 will not replace version 8.6. It means, if you have PC where Run-Time 8.6 installed, and after that on this PC you will install Run-Time 2009, then you can run both 8.6 and 2009 - builded applications.
