Hello LabVIEW Community,
I'm facing challenges running a legacy LabVIEW 2012 SP1 application on Windows 11 and would appreciate guidance.
Situation:
Production system: LabVIEW 2012 SP1 program on Windows 7
Need to evaluate/extend program on Windows 11 development machine
Have .vi, .ctl, .lvlps files but no deve I acceptlopment license
Attempted Solutions: ( I assume )
Installed LabVIEW 2012 SP1 Runtime (patch files available, but installer blocked by Windows 11 security)
Windows 11 blocks lvrunner.exe installation; only support files install
.vi files associate with NILVWSPostInstallerScript instead of LabVIEW
Newer Runtime versions (2022 Q3) blocked by company firewall
Questions:
Has anyone successfully run LabVIEW 2012 Runtime on Windows 11?
Are there workarounds for Windows 11 security blocking older NI installers?
Can LabVIEW 2022+ Runtime open 2012 .vi files in read-only mode?
Alternative viewers or methods to examine .vi structure without full LabVIEW?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
