Custom Step Type on TS 2017 compatible with TS 2016, error -17339

Hi,

 

I created a custom step type in TS 2017, and I checked the option in Version > Set Earliest TestStand Version that can Use this Type to 16.0.0.0.

Then when I tried to load the step type in TS 2016 I got this error: 

---------------------------
Sequence Editor
---------------------------
Unable to read object: object name not found.
The types file 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2016 (32-bit)\Components\TypePalettes\Test.ini' could not be loaded.

Error Code: -17339

I created a very simple Step Type and I got the same error.

 

Some ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Freddy

Hey Freddy,

 

Try the steps out in this KB - http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0C0504151A6C48828625729F006ED2A4?OpenDocument

 

You'll want to save your types in a new sequence file rather than a specific .ini file, and then save the sequence file for a previous version. 

 

Thanks,

Roxy

Hello,

I copied the type definitions to a new .ini file in TS 2016. But, in fact my error was related to the DLL called inside the TSDotNetSupport.dll, which is specific for each version of TestStand (I think so).

I didn't test the compatibility option in the properties.

 

Thanks,

 

Freddy
