Installing a New Version of NI-XNET To Older LabVIEW Can Break I/O Control Dialogs

NI-XNET (full version) and the NI-XNET Runtime Engine include the four most recent versions of the XNET LabVIEW driver library. If you build an application with a version of LabVIEW that is more than four years old, after you install a new version of NI-XNET your deployable installer will not include support for NI-XNET.

Workaround:

Do not install a new version of NI-XNET to use with a version of LabVIEW that is four years old or older.
