Choose ISE or Vivado Xilinx tools for a specific compilation of FPGA

Hello

Is there a way to specify what version of Xilinx Compilation tools to use when compiling an FPGA VI? I want to try the version Vivado tools rather than the version of ISE to see if there is an improvement. I have listed some information on my setup below.

It's my current setup:
NI5772 / PXIe7966 digitizer and FPGA
SMU-1082 chassis
SMU-PCIe8388 / SMU-PCIe8389 controller
LabVIEW 2014

In the past, I used the LabVIEW 2014 FPGA Xilinx tools 14.7 Module to compile my code. But I also want to try the version of Vivado, "LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx tools Vivado 2013.4 2014', to see if it gives better results."

Page-based "compatibility between tools Compilation of Xilinx and FPGA hardware OR" here:
http://www.NI.com/product-documentation/53056/en/
Looks like the PXIe7966 FPGA must be compatible with the tools of Vivado 2013.4.

I tried to uninstall the version 14.7 ISE tools, and install the 2013.4 of tools Vivado (so Vivado 2013.4 tools are the only xilinx tools installed on the computer). But LabVIEW complains that the ISE 14.7 tools are not installed and does not compile the FPGA VI.

Thank you!

This FPGA is a Virtex-5 FPGA, so you're stuck with ISE.  You need a card FPGA that either uses the architecting chip (I think it was only in cRIOs) or 7 Kintex to use the compiler to Vivado.
