Error Launching Sequence Editor

[lordsathish]

Hi Ppl,

I installed NI TestStand 4.1, After activation when opened sequence editor i got the following error.

 

When I searched for the same error. I found this link in NI. 

It suggests to open TestStand Version Selector and make the version active.

But when I opened the TestStand Version Selector, I'm getting the following error.

 

Please help me fixing this problem.

Thanks,

I'm not sure why you might be getting that error when launching the Version Selector. Would you mind opening TSVerSelect.exe in DependencyWalker and seeing what dependencies are missing?

Launch DependencyWalker (depends.exe), then go to File»Open and browse to TSVerSelect.exe. You can then save a .dwi file and you can zip up and post to this thread for us to look at.

Thanks.

Hi Manooch,

I have attached the file you have mentioned.

Thanks,

From the dependency walker file, it looks like the mfc80.dll dependency could not be found. The mfc80.dll file is installed with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package and should have been installed when you installed TestStand. It's possible that this file was not correctly installed or accidentally removed. Please try repairing the TestStand Version Selector and let me know of the outcome.

Hi Manooch,

I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, Is this the reason why mfc80.dll is missing. I tried reparing TestStand once. Let me try again.

Thanks

Before you try repairing again, could you check to see if you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed? You can check this in Add/Remove Programs.

Hi Manooch,

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package is installed in my PC. I'm not clear about how to repair the version selector exe. I uninstall ed TestStand and reinstalled it. But I still have the same error. I tried searching for that mfc80.dll, but couldn't locate it in my PC.  Also I couldn't locate  TestStand palette in LabVIEW.

Thanks

Should I uninstall this Visual C++ 2005 redistributable package and try installing TestStand...?

Try uninstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package and then install it again. You should probably install the service pack for it as well. You can download the installer for the package here: 

32-bit Machine

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

64-bit Machine

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)

Once you've re-installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package, then try to launch Version Selector. If it launches successfully, then try making the latest version of TestStand Active. If it activates successfully, then try launching the Sequence Editor for that version of TestStand.

Hope this helps. Please let me know how this turns out.

Hi Manooch,

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable package. I still have the same error. I suspect it could be some registry problem. I was able to locate that mfc80.dll in the path C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_none_0c187ef99ee1d25a, but as you said that TS Version Selector was not able to locate that dll. Is there any other fix ? Or Should I reinstall my OS ? 

Thanks
