Pyvirtualbench errors on Windows 10 x64

[md12g12]

Hi,

This question has been posted before im afriad (https://forums.ni.com/t5/VirtualBench/Pyvirtualbench-errors-on-Windows-10-x64/m-p/3631543#M1134), without any resolution. Im just checking that in the meantime noone has come across this and been able to fix it? The only difference is I am trying to follow this example: http://www.ni.com/video/4395/en/ but it errors on the 7th line.

I have a VB 8012 (on loan) and would really like to control it using python but it seems that noone knows how.

Thanks in advanced

p.s full Traceback:
