Error 42 - Windows 7 - Without Administrative Privileges

[djvrs]

Hi,

I am having difficulty running LabVIEW 7 Express on Windows 7 without administrative privileges. It works fine with admin rights. Please see attachment for error. (Error 42 - Generic Error)

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

LV 7 is not officially supported in Win7.  So if you are able to get it to run, consider yourself ahead of the game.

The solution, always run it with Admin rights.

Thanks. Will there be a version that supports Windows 7 in the future?

A version of LabVIEW? They are quite a number of versions ahead of 7.

There were already 8.x, 2009, and now they are on 2010.

I'm not sure if Windows 7 is "officially" supported, but it should work great with the newer versions of LabVIEW

Correction: No 8.x version supported Windows 7. 2009 was the first that officially supported Windows 7.

Ahh, thanks Smercurio. I should probably have looked at that at one point considering I have LabVIEW 8.6 running on my Windows 7

Then you're one of the lucky ones, since trying to run 8.x on Windows seems to be a hit or miss affair...
