Several deployments on same PC

[Marinuss]

I have several teststand deployments on the same Deployment PC. All my deployments include the StationGlobals.ini and Resultprocessing.cfg for reports. My issue is that some deployments cause other previous deployments to have a runtime error when executing those deployments. See attachment for error. 

I use the same base directory for all deployment installations.

The VIs are not broken, it ran before. So it must be an issue with finding them. What could cause my previous deployments to stop working with this error? 

Should I perhaps add the searchdirectories.cfg to each deployment?

Have you considered using TestStand environments?

No complete isolation / sandboxing yet it should do the job

Hi Oli

No, I have not. Will give it a try.

By The way, I attached a PDF link to two different projects to show my deployment settings, Can you have a look to see if something is off?

Thanx for feedback

I am ooo right now… will take a look soonish

I am not really sure if this works. If it does, I doubt that this is maintainable, too many dependencies between the projects.

So I strongly recommend using environments, even though they might not be perfect.

BTW.... I would not install my TestSequence to Program Files (x86)... this is where "real" programs go so Windows takes some extra care about security there

I'll have to investigate, but I think it's the way I created my folders for the VIs. I think there is a SupportVI folder that overwrites when another installation is made.
