I am converting my LV6.02 code to LabVIEW 7.1.1.

1) Under Developmen=
t
During load a had a broken arrow in the older serial VI's. Searching t=
he web I found that I needed to replace some _sersup.llb in order to get th=
e old serial VI's back up and running.
After I don that everything worke=
d correctly in development mode, serial port was operating correctly.
r>2) With runtime engine
When I build an EXE from my application and ins=
tall it on a banco Windows XP machine where only the LV 7.1.1 Runtime has b=
een installed on, I get errors from the serial VI's. Nothing works on the s=
erial ports, LabVIEW does not find the ports at all !!. When I do the same =
woth my older version in LV6.02 on the same blanco Windows XP, everything w=
orks perfectly.

I tried to copy the serpdrv from the 6.x next to the=
application (in 7.x this is normaly not needed) but it does not help. If I=
run a VISA VI that does serial communication it works. But I would like to=
distribute only a LabVIEW data directory in my final release that and I do=
n't know yet if VISA is then working correctly !?


Is there a wa=
y to get the old serial VI's working under the runtime 7.1.1. without switc=
hing to VISA and still use the simple copy of a data map of the runtime via=
our installer (auto reg. dll's) to distribute the application ?

Hav=
e a nice day
