I'm using TestStand 1.0.1 and LabWindows/CVI 5.0. When I select the "Create ActiveX Automation Controller..." item from the LabWIndows/CVI Tools menu it churns away building a list of registered automation servers. When the "Select ActiveX Automation Server" dialog box appears, the first 40 lines in the list are blank. If I select one of those blank lines and click the "Open" button I can generate a driver for the mysterious unnamed server as usual. The completed driver appears in the Instrument menu as "...", but at least it usable.
All of the servers which are blank in LabWindows/CVI appear with their proper names when I view the list of automation servers from an ActiveX Automation Adapter step in TestStand.
Why can Test Stand see these server names, but not LabWindows/CVI?
