TestStand 2012 .net assemblies load once successfully than fail on second loop searching the wrong directory

[JTTest1997]

Hi,

I've been  through this issue since almost 2 days and 

I'm fed up not getting to a solution.

Here is the problem :

My client has Proligent installed in the Sequential_Modal which is a .NET call (.net 2.0 and 3.5) that is placed after the main sequence call but within the UUTs loop.
My DLL (.net 4.0) which provide statistical data to the end user which is located in the Main sequence within the UUT Loop of the Sequential_Modal loads ReportViewer and WinForms assemblies from the GAC.

When I skip the proligent .net call, everything work as expected but when I run it normally, the first time it works because my .net call gets hit before the Proligent .Net call and the second loop, I get this error :

An exception occurred inside of the call to .NET member 'ShowFPYChartInfos':
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.resources, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=fr, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.

I can notice that the searching directory is the folder of the Proligent .net Assembly and not the GAC.

I Tried reinstalling Teststand and Proligent and it didn't work.

I compared the station to another identical WORKING station using the same things and no difference at all.

I can't seem to figure out what is the root cause of this behavior, can someone help?

Thanks

Eric
