NI TestStand 2010 Installer not found

[SeanJ]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a TestStand system but it keeps saying

Insert the CD or browse to the location where the following component is located:
NI TestStand 2010 Installer.
The last directory this component was found was:
C:\Documents and Settings\smcmahon\Desktop

I have inserted all four labVIEW 2010 CD's 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 and Devices and drivers. 

I also tried downloading TestStand2010Patch276751 and TestStand4.0.1f1Patch236977 to see if these would fix the issue, whcih they did not.

I suspect that I have downloaded an update to the desktop, unfortunately I recently erased all my downloads and cleared my desktop.

Does anyone know what file I need to download?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thanks for using the NI Forums!

The reason you are seeing this error message is due to the TestStand engine not being cached on the PC. What I would recommend is to download TestStand 2010 evaluation ( https://lumen.ni.com/nicif/us/teststand3/content.xhtml ) if you do not have the installer discs or from ni.com/src if you are entitled to the files. The patch applications will only contain the patches rather than the full installers.

When you try and build the installer, browse to the location of the downloaded TestStand installer.

Please let me know how you get on!
