Hello Big_Papa_Craig,

Did you followed some procedure like the one mentioned in section 1 of this following article?

"unning a Vision Builder AI Inspection from TestStand"
https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LlySAE&l=en-US

If you are using TestStand 3.1 or later, complete the following steps:

1. Copy inspection.ico to <TestStand X.X>\Components\User\Icons, where <TestStand X.X> is the location where TestStand is installed and X.X is the version of TestStand you are using.
2. Copy NIVBAITestStandSteps.ini to <TestStand X.X>\Components\User\TypePalettes.
3. Windows XP—Copy NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll to <Windows>\System32.
   Windows 2000\NT—Copy NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll to <Winnt>\System32.
4. Select Start»Run to open the Run dialog box
5. Enter regsvr32 NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll in the Open control and click OK. A dialog box should appear that readsDLRegisterServer in NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll succeeded.
6. Click OK to close the regsvr32 dialog box.

Is the error you're showing, the result from step 5?

Regards!
