Hi,
I am using Test Stand Labview API with DQMH,
I have created DQMH modules in Labview and my Test Sequence consist of Request VIs to the DQMH modules. When I create an Exe to be deployed in a different system I am facing the following problems:
1. The Test Stand Sequence is Unable to locate the VIs since the source is not present on the System where the Exe is Deployed.
I have tried using the Test Stand Deployment Utility to create an Image of the Test Stand Sequence. But my observation is the Test Stand Deployment Utility Auto-detects Dependencies and then uses relative paths to the Test Sequence and Sub-sequence files.
2. The relative path in the Image is too long and the Test Stand is unable to locate the files in Image too.
Is there a better way to do this? I am missing something?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Linus Koli

I've had this problem in the past with TestStand at a customer site.
The simplest solution was just to map a drive letter to cut the path length down.
(customer had ridiculous path lengths., we mapped 55 chars off that path name and everything worked nicely in the newly created "W:\" drive 😉)
Would suggest you create a path length check tool and limit you filenames and folder depths for TestStand though - it can be a killer.
I can't remember (I think I last did is in about 2014 or something like that) - I think the max path length for TestStand is 125 chars Windows can go much higher.

Thank you James,
I do not entirely understand the part about mapping a drive letter.
Can you please elaborate or provide an example or article to which I can refer?
Thank you again.
