Distributed TestStand vs. Sequence Editor

[greggj_00]

I am having problems with TestExec that I created a distribution for.  The executable that I created and distributed, will not run, for failing to find or open a DLL.  However, when I run the same sequence using the Sequence Editor that I also included in the distribution, it works fine.  I have checked and it appears that all setting are the same on both the Executable and the Sequence Editor, can anyone explaion this.

did you use the deployment tool to create your installation image?

[greggj_00]

Yes, I used the deployment tool to install my customized GUI, etc. on the target machines.  It is behaving the same way on 2 machines.

You should probably post the exact error you are getting. Did you deploy all the necessary DLLs with the custom OI? Does it fail when you open the OI or does it fail when you try to load a sequence file?

Posting as a placeholder for now.  This sounds like something we saw here just yesterday......

Gregg,  Did this resolve and how did you resolve this?

[greggj_00]

I am still seeing the problem.  I have not found a way to resolve it yet.

Hi greggj_00,

Did you follow the directions in this article to include your search directories and configuration in your deployment?  I'm assuming this is a DLL which is called by by one of the steps in your sequence.  Where is this DLL placed on the file system in relation to the sequence file?  Also could you post some more info on the error like snowpunter suggested?
