Correct. At the target, I only see Administrator as an option.

Hi,

Open the user.ini file that is in your image folder into notepad, can you see your other users defined in it.

Or better still open the Dritrib.cab file, found in the install folder, into winzip, then open the users.ini file using notepad and can you see your additional users?

Hi,

Is your deployment directory of your TestStand the same as your developement?

It might be there a slight difference eg deployment to c:\Teststand, whereas developement system is c:\Program Files\Natioanl Instruments\TestStand...

In which case you might find on your target system, your Users.ini file has gone somewhere else. You could do a file search on your target system to see how many copies of the users.ini you can find.

I opened user.ini file in the image folder and I see the other users defined in it.

However, the Dritrib.cab file does not contain the users.ini file.

I just verified that the Users.ini file is in the workspace file. However, I put it
in the TestStand project file that contains the TestExec.exe/.uir. Does it need to be
in its own project? In the Distributed Files tab of the TestStand Deployment, there
are now checkboxes available for User Callbacks, Language, Model. Nowhere, though, do
I see Users.ini. Do I need to check one of the model sequences to pick it up?

Hi mrbean,

If its in with the testexec.exe files then it should have been picked up.

My example I didn't have that checkbox enabled in the deployment tool, so it was just in the top section.
I'll try that out latter and get back to you.

When you said "it should have been picked up" do you mean it should show up as a checkbox-able item in the Distributed Files area?

When you said "My example I didn't have that checkbox enabled in the deployment tool, so it was just in the top section" Which checkbox, and what top section are you speaking of.

[RayFarmer]

Hi,

If its shown as checked in the distributed files, then you should have see the file in the cab file.

But the Users.ini file doesn't even show up in the distributed files list. Is it an assumed file. By that I mean, is in buried within a seq file or some dll?

[RayFarmer]

Hi,

In \Components\NI\Tools\Deployment Utility directory is a file called Filter.ini.

Its used by the Deployment tool to excluded file from the distribution kit. I haven't looked into whether the cfg files are in the excluded files. If they are you could modify this file.

In my example deployment, I didn't enable the 'Collect Files from the \...\User' folders.

I was only using the workspace files.

I'll try enabling this and see if the Users.ini gets added on my system.

Just as a test, I copied the Users.ini file to the Deployment directory on the target, and still, only Administrator shows up. I verified (at the target) that the .ini file contains the new entries.
