Windows Compatability

Is LabView 6.0 compatible with Windows XP?

General answer: yes.

Are you having a specific issue?

[Steeve]

No.  I jsut have an older version (6.0) and wanted to make sure I didn't need some patch or download upgrade drivers etc.

Actually, there is an update for LabVIEW 6 to bring it to 6.0.2. It does not specifically target XP - 2000 is the farthest it goes. Still, it probably wouldn't hurt to get it.

Hello,

Technically speaking, the following are supported operting systems for versions 6.0 and 6.1 of LabVIEW:

LabVIEW 6.0 - Released December 2000
(Windows 2000, ME, NT, 98, 95, Mac OS 9.x* Sun Solaris 2.x and HP-UX 10.x, Linux x86)

LabVIEW 6.1 - Released December 2001
(Windows XP, 2000, ME, NT, 98, 95, Mac OS 9.x* Sun Solaris 2.x, Linux x86)

Thus, you'll see that LabVIEW 6.0 was not officially tested on Windows XP.

I hope this helps!

Best Regards,

JLS
