Hello,
I have TestStand 2012 installed on my machine and recently also installed LabView Runtime engine but do not have LabView Development license.
When I try to call a labView Project and its VIs, I get an error message unable to load Project. On another machine where I have labView installed, for the same paroject and VI, I do not get any error message.
Does it mean that I need to have LabView development license in order to call VIs. I always thought that run-time engine would be sufficient for such tasks where we are just calling VIs and not developing those on TestMachines.

Hi Ricky,
First of all you're not obliged to specify a LV prject to load a VI. You can skip the project path control and only specify the VI path entry.
Then check your Laview adapter configuration (Configure -> Adapters -> LV Selected -> Configure...) : it should be on 'LabVIEW Run Time Engine' and not 'Dev system'.

TestStand should be able to load and run the VI's ( which are in project) in runtime also ( you cannot edit it).
What error are you getting?

Hi,
thanks for suggestiong the possible solution.
actually, I could not get it working, unitll I installed LabView (test verion), then I changed adapter settings and then I opened the project in LabView. After opening, it loaded project in "MyComputer" and now I am able to see different VIs available in the project. I had to change paths everywhere in the project.
I am unable to understand, what "MyComputer" in LV means? I am able to browse VIs but not in my actual hard drive but a virtual my computer created by LabView. I wish to work without LabView but the prerequisite to open project in LV is hindering me to do it.
The Error I get is Unable to load project when I try opening a VI (without Project being loaded in LV "My Computer".
I do not know if something has to be changed by VI programmer or is it standard that virtual LV my computer must run on every maching?

Hi,
I realise that this is an old thread but though I would make a quick observation.
When I am using OOP LabVIEW VI's in TestStand I have to have an actual LabVIEW version installed, where as none OOP VI's seem to work fine without. I don't know what the OP was using but I have just had this issue. The only way I found to fix it was to go into Configure...Adaptors...LabVIEW...Configure... and select LabVIEW Development System rather than the RTE.
I'm using LabVIEW 2013 and TestStand 2014.
Regards,
Darren.
