LabVIEW
LabVIEW 7 EXPRESS
Solved!
Hello gents. I have question related to old LabVIEW version and if I still can use it and benefit from it. I already have LabVIEW 2024 full development license but I would like to know if this one still could be useful to use and build exe applications.

You need Professional or above (details). For simpler editions, there is also the application builder module.

LabVIEW 7 came out in 2003-ish. If you want to install it on anything newer than Windows XP you'll almost certainly have problems.
Just an aside, I think this was one of, if not THE most bulletproof version of LabVIEW. Ever.
If this is for personal use only, you can get LabVIEW Community Edition, which is the latest LabVIEW version that is essentially LabVIEW Pro, for FREE.
The only reason I can see trying to install LV 7.x on a PC is to take advantage of the fact that it does not ask you for a license, so maybe LV Community Edition is just what the doctor ordered!
Edit: I didn't see your other topic. This will definitely NOT work for you because you are trying to skirt a licensing issue.

what do you mean by personal use! I'm thinking in using it to build applications (exe files) for DAQ systems and control systems. one more question, if this version can build exe files, would it be able to read the old 1 & 8 slots chassis like NI cDAQ 9172?!
If you are getting paid for this, you cannot use the community edition. It is only for personal hobby use. (details here)
The "version" does not tell you that you can built applications. You can built executable if you have a pro license for 7. Do you? If you currently have an active "full" 2024 version, it allows you to use the 7 version under the same terms (i.e. no application builder).
I can't answer the chassis question, but as soon as drivers are involved, mixing 2024 and 7 gets more complicated.
