64 bit VI development to 32 bit sytem use

[FuzzyLipton]

Before I waste a bunch of time; If I develop a VI on my 64 bit laptop with LabVIEW 2009 64 bit, will it run in my place of employment's lab on the LabVIEW 2009 32 bit system?  I obviously don;t have access to the peripheral devices, but have set them up in Measurement and Automation Explorer  on the laptop virtual devices.  Any answer is appreciated.

Thanks

If you only use VIs there will be no issue, the VIs will be recompiled on the 32-bit machine.

If you however build your code into executables then you will fail. The other way around works (using a 32-bit exe on Win64) because Windows has a 32-bit emulator build into Win64.

Thanks, just VI's so it sounds like I'll be fine

I agree with Ton,

If you built a 64-bit executable, it will not run in a 32-bit system.  Same as any other software.
