The LabVIEW Runtime Engine is a redistributable set of libraries that allows compiled LabVIEW applications (executables) to run on a computer without a full LabVIEW development installation. It executes the block diagram (dataflow code) and provides necessary I/O, UI, and memory management.
The 6.1 release introduced several "modern" era features that the RTE had to support for the first time: Install or Include LabVIEW Runtime Engine for ... - Support
| Aspect | Limitation | |--------|-------------| | Supported OS | Windows 2000, XP, Vista (32-bit) | | Modern OS | Unsupported. May fail to install or cause DLL conflicts. | | Side-by-Side Install | Possible, but exclusive runtimes are less flexible than modern ones. | | NI Driver Compatibility | Only works with DAQmx versions 7.x or older (or legacy Traditional DAQ). |
If you see an error like:
One of the most frequent questions on NI Forums is: "Can I install LabVIEW Runtime 6.1 Exclusive alongside LabVIEW 2020 Runtime?"
The LabVIEW Runtime Engine 6.1, specifically the "exclusive" version, refers to a particular release compatible with LabVIEW version 6.1. This version of the runtime engine is crucial for executing applications developed in LabVIEW 6.1. The term "exclusive" might imply a specific configuration or compatibility aspect, possibly indicating a version tailored for certain hardware or a specific operating system.
: The introduction of the Event Structure significantly improved how LabVIEW handled user interface interactions. Legacy System Requirements
