Does old CIN work on Win8.1 32bit ?

[Zou]

Works fine for Windows 7 32 bit in LabVIEW 2013 SP1 32 bit.

 

Has anyone tried?

CINs are really just special DLLs on Windows and as long as NI doesn't remove the ability from existing LabVIEW platforms to load a CIN it will keep working.

 

Note however that because of that a CIN is platform specific and that means that the VI containing such a CIN will not load without error on another platform. This includes any LabVIEW version on Linux, MacOSX, and even LabVIEW for Windows 64 Bit. And no it's not about the OS version at all but about for what OS platform the LabVIEW is meant. So LabVIEW for Windows 32 Bit will load your CIN irrespective of 32 bit or 64 bit Windows OS, but LabVIEW for Windows 64 Bit won't.

 

And even if you wanted, there is no way to port the CIN to LabVIEW for 64 Bit Windows versions or any other upcoming LabVIEW platform such as just about every LabVIEW Realtime platform (with the exception of LabVIEW Pharlap ETS based ones which use the Win32 model) and future LabVIEW 64 Bit versions, since NI has removed that ability from all new LabVIEW platforms that came out since about version 8.0. And since LabVIEW 2010, the tools to create CINs have been for good removed in all LabVIEW versions, although they keep loading CINs that have been created with older LabVIEW versions for that same platform.
