Can I install LabVIEW 7.1 with NI Drivers from May2004 to PC with Windows7?

[krompacho]

I installed LabVIEW 7.1 to PC ; HP Z200 Workstation. After installing LV7.1 and starting of install NI Drivers from May 2004 appeared error message:

This installation cannot be executed on a 64 bit Microsoft Windows OS.

So Have I to install newer versions of drivers? But will newer drivers co-operate with created VI's in LV7.1(in co-operation with NI Drvers May2004)?

Thanks.

Neither LV 7.1 nor any driver from 2004 does support Windows7 32bit or 64bit.

Thanks, So Can I install LV7.1 with any NI Drivers to Win7 ?

[Christian Mergl]

You could try.

But it's not supported since LV7.1 was available years before Windows 7 came out.

This Message appeared before install NI Drivers May 2004 (So LV 7.1 was installed, but not run this time)

You can purchase a newer version of Labview. Or run windows XP on the server.

This is also something you may look into

For certain versions of Windows 7, you can freely download and install Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC. Might just work.

I can not purchase newer version og LabVIEW. I must use LabVIEW 7.1.

What about install newer version of NI Drivers, which co-operate with LV 7.1 and with Win7?

Thanks

There is no version of traditional supported on Windows 7. The latest version of DAQmx that you can use is 8.9 and that is not supported either.
