Thanks Analog Kid - good Rush song by the way. It'd be 'nice' if the CD eluded to that fact, so you don't have to bother with finding the RTE if it's already there. I have noticed, on computers where I have installed MAX (which installs NI-DAQ) that the Run-Time engine also appears.ĭoes MAX install the Run-Time? Or was it MAX that installed? Or was it probably already there.? Installing NI-DAQ (MAX) also installs Run-Time engine?

I can't imagine these executables were developed using 6.1 since this equipment is not even a year old now. Can someone explain how I am to run these executables under labview 2011. When I launch the labview executables to control this equipment on a PC that has the trial period labview 2011 installed, I get an error message stating something like ' This requires a Labview 6.1 (or compatible) run time engine.' I have tried to download and install the 6.1 labivew engine but I can't install this engine on a PC which has labview 2011 installed. The equipment I am using is not even old.maybe a year or so. However, twice now I have run into an error when launching labview executeables compiled by two different equipment manufacturers. I have been able to resolve most of my compatibility issues with simple code fixes and such. I am still not under any pressure to update however, I would like to in order to get support and make sure I do not have any compatibility issues with new equipment purchases. That is as expected since I have not updated labview in many years. Well, needless to say there have been alot. I have installed a trial period version of Labveiw 2011 in order to check for possible upgrade issues I may have if I decide to upgrade from labveiw 6.1. Install labview 6.1 (or compatible) run-time engine with labview 2011

Labview run time engine 8.6
