Installing 64 bit version of toolkit and modules for Labview 2009 64 bit?

[kbaker]

Hello  I recently contacted NIabout installing Mathscript and Signal processing toolkits for my Labview 200964 bit that I am running on Windows 7.  I was sent the following link as aresponse: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/10383.  From this link it is my understanding that I cannot run any programs thatcontain an astrestik, since they only work for 32 bit version of Labview? In particular I really need to use Mathscript.  Is there any workarounds? Do I have to also install the Labview 2009 32 bit version?  Doesanyone know when Labview will allow me to run everything in the 64 bit versionof Labview?  Thanks.

Hello Kevin,

There is no workaround available, and there are no released dates as to if/when Windows 7 x64 support for the toolkits in question will be introduced. 

The LabVIEW Mathscript RT Module is not supported in LabVIEW 64-bit as mentioned at the bottom of the following page: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvhowto/labview_mathscript/ .

Thanks Vivek.  So it looks like I can only use Vision functions within Labview 2009 64 bit.  I am just curius are there any benifits (computational, memory, etc.) to use the 64 bit version over the 32 bit version of Labview 2009?  Thanks again.

The 64-bit version of LabVIEW runs as a 64-bit process and can access more memory than the 32-bit version of LabVIEW.
