Issue Details

I want to have two versions of the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) installed at the same time on one computer. Is this possible?

Solution

You can only have one version of VAS installed at a time. If you require to developing on multiple versions of LabVIEW, you can check the LabVIEW and VAS compatibility and find a check if there is a version of VAS which supports both LabVIEW versions.
 

Additional Information

A possible workaround if you require multiple VAS versions on a single system is to use a virtual machine. However, virtual machines are not supported by NI in most cases.
