I have completed development and testing for a couple TestStand sequences I would like to deploy. I want to deploy the TestStand sequences with the necessary installers so I can deploy the entire system on a different test computer to run the deployed sequences with runtime applications. I have completed the Developing Test Programs Using TestStand training provided by National Insturments. This is my first time trying to deploy a sequence to a TestStation with the installers to a different test station so I'm still naive to some aspects of TestStand.
I’m using the TestStand Deployment Utility to deploy my sequences with runtime installers for NI-DAQ, NI-VISA, Labview 2016, TestStand 2016 and NI-Sync. My test system consists of an NI –USB 6343 to get some current and voltage measurements, LabView 2016 to send and read information over serial ports and TestStand 2016 to integrate and run all the LabView VIs I have created. In the installer options pane under Drivers and Components of the TestStand Deployment Utility I have loaded the NI Device Drivers 1 and 2 discs and the NI TestStand 2016 Development System disc to load the runtime applications.
When I build the deployment with the installers it fails, but no errors or warning are reported and there are no files in the installer folder to run the setup.exe, which will install the test system to the test station. I have attached the files from the TestStand Deployment Utility log. Can somebody help me understand why the deployment build is failing and not including any of the installer files? I have searched in other online forums for TestStand about deployment, but none seem to provide an answer for my problem. All replies are much appreciated.
