CVI - Windows 10-2015 and beyond

I'm looking to revive my support CVI and the CVI 2009 update to the current.

In order to justify the leap, I would like to learn more about plans for CVI2015:

  • Support for Windows 10 (office only, but for the development platform and for the target platform)

  • Distribution packaging formats (for "Hello world")

History / context:

  • Microsoft seems to be ready to everyone they can grow to 10 Windows. With a cycle of publication of two years for the CVI, my fear is that Win 10 ICB support can come in Q3 2017. (Note that Windows 8 found were from Sept 2011 and RTM was August 1, 2012. CVI necessary accompaniment, the next version: CVI 2013 was released in August 2013. Where my 'next release' forecast of 2017.)

  • Distribution packages are passed from 5 to 12 25-75 MB in the last several releases. The minimum size for 2013 CVI is a deal breaker for us - I get complaints about 25 MB.

I don't want to be too negative - ICB done great things for us, but these two complex (and difficult to master!) questions are really two points pain I want to see progress.

Thank you

Ian

Ian,

Regarding your question Windows 10, we conducted tests with versions of Windows 10 and we do not expect our products to work with this operating system. However, we cannot claim official support until our products have been tested with the official version of Windows 10.

Regarding your concern about size of deployment, we mentioned this feature incompatibility in our readme CVI 2013 for the clients of this KB: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/A402AA9C304A33E186257B8E00630D00?OpenDocument

The KB is not entirely explain why we have chosen to make this decision but makes us think of this feature a good amount and in the end we had to make compromises. The key points we considered where:

  • It is much more difficult to scale the installation programs using merge modules, as compared to the msi files

  • MSI files using allows NO place easier fixes to customers

  • It's easier to implement additional deployment capabilities on top of MSI than the merge modules

I hope this helps.
