Thanks!
Anything that works for Labview will certainly work for C++. Technically, anything that can run a text editor will be fine.

Beware of Windows 8 and WindRiver. You *can* install it, and once it's installed it works just fine -- but installation is a bit annoying. It has a weird bug in the installer that causes it to appear to be frozen during installation. In reality, you just have to kill a particular process and it resumes. Search around and someone will mention which one, I don't remember which.
