EtherCAT 9145 Custom Device Deployment Error - VeriStand 2025 Q2

[Zero_SR]

Hello, 

I recently updated from VeriStand 2024 to VeriStand 2025 Q2 and I now have issues connecting to a NI-9145 expansion chassis using the Scan Engine and EtherCAT custom device. When attempting to auto detect modules, I see the following error: 

I attempted to add the chassis manually and then deploy, but then receive this error message 

I have tried repairing all NI software components along with reinstalling software, but with no success. This was previously working without issue in VeriStand 2024 Q3. I'm interested to know if anyone else has experienced the same issue when updating to the latest VeriStand version and Device Drivers. Any suggestions on what might be causing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I believe this is a bug with VeriStand 2025 Q2, that is being worked on. I suggest you either revert back to VeriStand 2024, OR try the following workaround:

The current workaround is:

Manually add Registry key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\National Instruments\LabVIEW Run-Time\22.0".

Add a variable "Path" with value "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2022"

Or

Execute the script "AddRegistryKey_22.0.ps1" in Powershell in Administrator mode.
(Which will do the above mentioned steps)

Please let me know if the workaround works for you :),

Thanks,

Dom
