Hello,

What operating system are you running and what version of TestStand are you trying to run?  It would be helpful to get more of a context of your system.

Hi,

Is this something that has always occurred with this installation of TestStand or is this an error that appeared after the software was working for some time? 

[ahmedkochbati92]

Hello, 

Thanks for your response, Yes it was working for some days and then SeqEdit won't run 

so untill now i have tried uninstalled and reinstalled the software but that didn't solve the issue also i have attempted a force reinstallation of the software using command prompt and setup.exe, But i still have the same error 

any explanation of the error ? other suggestions ?

PS: i'm always runnig as administrator

Best Regards

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed, 

Did anything change between the time you were running TestStand fine and the time where it stopped working? Software installation?  Update?

How can i verify and corrige this error ?

Thanks

When you say the sequence editor wont run, does it give you any kind of error or does nothing happen?  If nothing happens, could the window be off screen for some reason?  Can you try the following steps as sometimes this can be something odd that happens:
