TestStand 2.0 Error: Unable to launch Active X Automation Adapter

I have 3 PC's using the same LabView Operator interface given from TestStand, but one of the PCs is giving me an Error "Unable to launch Active X Automation Adapter"
Please Help...
I have already uninstalled the TestStand Engine, and Labview Engines and then re-installed them, that didn't fit the problem.

Hi,

You may have to manual register the runtime ActiveX server, eg TestStandLVRTS /RegServer.
See the User Manual Chapter 17 Distributing TestStand.

Hope this helps

You may also want to check the knowledgebase entitled "How to Fix -18001 Errors when Using TestStand and LabVIEW":
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/55574cb4e0f326df862567fd0077e303?OpenDocument

This document describes the error you are getting along with a possible solution which has to do with the DCOM settings.

Also, there is another developer exchange posting that talks about this ("How do I successfully distribute the LV ActiveX Run-Time Server?"):
