Build Application That Will Run on XP & 7

[ottomatic]

If I build an application using LabVIEW 2011, will it run on XP SP2 and Windows 7 (32bit)?

Does it matter if I build my app using XP or 7?

Yes.

No.

Caveat: Windows 7 has additional folder restrictions, so if you are trying to access folders like the C:\ drive, or C:\Program Files, then your application will not work properly under Windows 7. There's a parallel discussion going on right now regarding Windows 7 compatibility: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Windows-7-compatibility/td-p/1764350

The target machine needs the LabVIEW RunTime Engine.
