I have quite a few dlls that I've built for simple communications to instruments. In particular, one that turns a relay on/off through the output of an USB DAQmx device.
Other VC++ developers have been able to link to and use these dlls without issue, but recently I've been asked if I could provide an amd64 build of the dll and libs. The team that is requesting this can instead build as x86 only, but are reluctant to do so as other parts of their application would suffer.
Questions:
1) Is this possible?
2) If so, would this only require a 64Bit LabVIEW install on a 64Bit OS, like Vista or Win7?
3) What are some problems I should expect when building 64Bit DAQmx shared libraries?
