Calling LabVIEW 8.2 Runtime Engine from TestStand 3.5

[BarryK]

We have been using TestStand 3.5 and LabVIEW 8.2 in developing a system.  We now want to install the system on other PC's but without LabVIEW 8.2.  We install TestStand 3.5 and then the LabVIEW 8.2 Runtime Engine on the PC (using lv82runtime.msi).  But when we run our TestStand sequences that call LabVIEW 8.2 VIs using the option "Always Run VI in LabVIEW Runtime Engine" on the VI steps, we receive an error:

"...The VI is not executable.  Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located.  Open the VI in LabVIEW using File:Open and verify that it is runnable".

If we then install LabVIEW 8.2 it runs fine (just like on our development system).

Are we missing some step in installing the LabVIEW 8.2 Runtime Engine?  I've searched the postings and haven't seen any other mention of additional steps, but I could easily be missing something.

I am also going to post this question on the TestStand forum in case someone watching there has an idea.

Thanks in advance.

For your sequence, did you run the deployment tool? The run-time engine does not some things such as VIs in vi.lib and support libraries. The deployment tool creates a package with everything you need with for use with just the run-time engine.

Barry,

Please see my response here as well as the advice Dennis gave.
