TestStand ATML and XML Report Viewer v1.0.0 - access denied trying to open any XML file?

TestStand ATML and XML Report Viewer v1.0.0 (release 2022)


When opening XML files that previously opened on IE11 on a Windows 10 22h2 system, the report viewer throws a "access denied" error that it can't read/open "c:\program files(x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2016\Component".


We've tried running TS XML Report Viewer as administrator, checked the permissions for the entire program files(x86) National Instruments folder and subfolders, nothing appears to be incorrectley permissioned.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If it's downloaded from another PC, check this by going to filer properties (right click -> properties):

Next thing, check whether or not the actual XSL style sheet exists on the system where you are trying to open the report. Stylesheets are defined in the first line of the xml document.

Ensure that the location from your file exists in your system.

Thank you!

Yes, made sure to check the box as stated, and yes, reports were on a network share, copying them to desktop and then opening from there resolved the issue (assume that it was just having trouble finding the style sheet over network share)
