TSAPI error -17308 popup

[zou]

I'm getting this error for every step, any sequence (including NI Example sequences), any model on my laptop.

Get this error multiple times if read/write local/global in a statement step.

Anyone run into this problem before?

This looks like a screwed up installation to me.

I'd try repairing or re-installing.

Do you happen to have multiple TestStand versions on that laptop?

Thanks for reply.

There is only one version on my laptop - 2017 SP1 64bit.

The problem starts when I play with config settings.   I don't know which setting causes the problem since don't run sequence on this laptop (no hardware connected).

I'll try to repair/re-install.

Before spending a lot of time repairing, you could as well delete configfiles.... IMHO all of them will be autocreated with default values if not available

Delete everything under C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2017 (64-bit)\Cfg

Still getting the same error for every step.

Repaired TestStand not working either.

Removed TestStand, and delete everything under TestStand folder.  Re-install TestStand.  Reboot.

Still getting the same error for NI example sequence.

BTW, run as admin makes no difference.

I can't format the hard disk.
