Re: Windows 7 64bit Compatibility For ALL Tools ??
Thanks Joe for clarifying what was going on.

re "Upgrading VxWorks on the cRIO is not a viable option because of the immense changes to VxWorks since 6.3."
Sounds like we are between a rock and hard place. I suspect MS will love to only have Win 7 64 shipped on new laptops. New laptop owners that are users of Windriver would have to uninstall Win 7 64 and install Win 7 32 or at least have a dual boot system.

Re Windriver, Eclipse: I am guessing Eclipse is written in Java ? It sounds like your message is I shouldn't really be counting on Windriver working on Win 7 64bit (and there would be no support). Though some users appear to have been lucky, others have not (which is a little hard to understand for a common Win 7 64bit host) ?
