Installing 32 bit version of LV20 on 64 Bit machine

[nitishkati]

Hello !

Can I install 32 bit version of LV20 after installing 64 bit version ?

Or should I uninstall the 64 Bit and start from scratch installing 32 bit first ?

Much appreciate an opinion.

Do you need "opinions" or do you need facts? 😄

Although the usual path is 32-bit then 64-bit, I don't see a problem installing in reverse order.  I think you'll have to reinstall your NI drivers and toolkits to make them aware of the new install, though.

You should be able to just go to the "Packages" section of NIPM and just install the "LabVIEW 2020 (32-bit) Support" package for each of the drivers needed.  Toolkits are probably included with the LabVIEW install.
