Batch file and popupmessage do not execute

[SeanJ]

Hi,

I installed TestStand 4.1 on my PC.  Prior to this TestStand 3.5 was resident.

There seem to be a few glitches, namely when i run the step types messagepopup and callexecutable nothing happens.  They appear to run but the executable is not called and the message does not pop up.

I tried the messagepopup example and noticed that the types were different, namely my type is messagePopup_2 and the examples type is messagePopup.  I can copy and paste from the example to my sequence and it works fine.

The problem is I cannot find an example for callexceutable.  I know i have dine it correctly as I create and execute the same sequence on another pc.  It's also worrying as I odn't want to find further done the line that I have to recode a whole pile of the sequence.

Anyone any ideas?

TIA,

Sean

Hi,

If you are working on relative pathes, have you checked your search pathes ?

They sould be the same on both maschines.

Hi Jurgen,

The relative paths are the same, that would be a little too easy 😉

It seems to be a type conflict. maybe I have to re-install TestStand?

Rgds,

I copied a sequence file with the callexecutable step and ran it on my machine.  I then got a warning that the types were different, see attachment.

 I selected use type from bat.seq andit worked fine. It now seems ok but why did it happen and will it start happening with other types, e.g. messagepopup is still giving problems?
