error -18351 when accessing TS database options

I have not used the system in a month and now when I try to access the 'Database options' window in Teststand from the Configure menu I receive the following message:
 
Details
The type library information for 'TestStand API 2.0' was not found.
Make sure the server is registered with the system.
 
Error Code
-18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library.
 
Location
Step 'Create UUTResult' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'
 
Has anyone seen this before? I am using TS 3.1 on Win2K.

Hey plf,

Have you seen this Discussion Forum.   I think it is very similar to the error you are seeing.  Try the steps in there and if that fails then let me know and we'll see what else we can figure out. 

You need to open the Database.seq file inside of this directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\Database  and go to the Edit Database Options from the View drop down.  Then you can right click on Create UUTResult and click on Specify Module.  Yours should be similar to the one I'm attaching.  Check and make sure it is.

Sam...

Thanks for the reply.

1. I have tried the version selector several times with no luck. FYI: I have version 3.0 and 3.1 listed in the drop down menu.

2. I went through and selected the dll in the specify module popup but I don't get the correct Automation Server nor can I find the one that you have. See attached image of the window.

Also I have uninstalled and re-installed TestStand prior to this.

Peter
