TestStand Deployment utility hangs during build

I have been using the same deployment .tsd file to deploy for a couple of years, 95% of the time the deployment works and it generates the installer I need. Every once in a while the deployment utility will hang indefinitely when it gets to the "Finished reading link information from the top level VIs". I can restart the PC and the utility but once I see it hang here it will never get past this point. The only fix I have found to this point is uninstalling and reinstalling TestStand completely. Any thoughts on what may be going wrong? Is there something else I can do instead of reinstalling TestStand?

I got the same problem when I included the VI

"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2019\user.lib\_MGI\Timing\MGI Wait\MGI Wait (U32).vi"

in a subVI in my build.

 

When I removed the subVI from my Build the TestStand Deployemnt Utility did NOT hang.

When I again added the "MGI Wait (U32).vi" subVI to my build the TestStand Deployemnt Utility hang again.

When I (again) removed the subVI from my Build the TestStand Deployemnt Utility did NOT hang.

 

More infromation:

I did not create the SubVI including the "MGI Wait (U32).vi". Another developer created it and added it to a repository for me to use.

I have no problem using the "MGI Wait (U32).vi" with LabView on my station.

I have the "MGI Wait (U32).vi"-VI (MGI library) installed on my computer.  

 

Conclusion:

I don't think it is a TestStand issue.

I think it is a LabView issue.

Maybe Me and the other developer didn't install the MGI library the same way resulting in a dead lock when using the TestStand Deployemnt Utility.

 

Best regards

Erik
