labview

I have inherited a labview program running successfully on a Windows '95 system. I only have the exe file, no labview development environment. It uses a GPIB card and the PC-1200 DAQ card. I need to port it to a Windows 2000 platform. If I move the executable and install new Windows 2000 drivers for the GPIB and DAQ boards, should it work?

With my experience it should work.

PC-1200 DAQ Card: This card is listed in the help of NI-DAQ 6.9.1. Any driver from 6.6 until 6.9.1 is compatible with Windows 2000.

For the GPIB card are two solutions to consider:
Direct usage of the NI 488.2 driver or usage of VISA. Both solutions need drivers for Windows 2000. There are two elder cards (GPIB-PCII/IIA and AT-GPIB/TNT+) which are not supported under Windows 2000.

The LabVIEW application should be of Version 5.1 or newer. It is neccessary to install the LabVIEW runtime (RTE) for your application. To move only the executable will not work. The RTE should have come with your application. You should have a complete setup which installs your application and the RTE.

It might depend on the LabView version that created the application. I think LabView 5.1.1 was the first version that National Instruments verified compatibility with Windows 2000.

Al yes you are right. I have a look on my CDs and have seen that 5.1 does not have Windows 2000 but the updater to 5.1.1 has.
