TestStand 2024 Q4: Runtime Launch Error in project Environment

Hello everyone,

 

I installed TestStand 2024 Q4 on my machine and created an environment with it. After that, I built a deployment.

 

When I installed this deployment on my deployment machine and tried to start the TestStand runtime with my environment, I encountered the following error:

 

"The prototype of member 'SequenceFileCache' in class 'ManagedModelSupport.SequenceFileCache' in assembly 'ManagedModelSupport, Version=24.0.0.49152, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' depends on a type from assembly 'NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.API, Version=24.0.0.49152, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ad9244eb3b825cd8', but that assembly could not be loaded (NOTE: To force a refresh of the information for this assembly, select the 'File->Unload All Modules' menu item.)."

I also noticed that, when I open TestStand on my development machine, the version of engine is not 24.0 but 23.0:

Additionally, the configuration file under the Environment (automatically generated by TestStand) has the same issue:

Can you help me solve this Issue ?

 

Thanks

Hi Hatim,

 

Could you please verify if the interop files are present inside the TestStand Deployment folder after installation.

Also, could you share more details about the deployment type (msi, package, etc.) and the packages or msi involved.

We have tested out the initial scenarios but would need more details to investigate it further.

 

Thanks

Hi Hatim,

 

Based upon the info you shared, i can see TestStand 2023 Q4 Runtime. Are you using the 2023 or 2024 Deployment Utility.

Hi,

 

im using 2024 Deployment Utility.

 

As you can see in the Screenshot i send in the first message, the TestStand 2023 Q4 Runtime is the default engine version of the TestSTand 2024 Q4 regardless of the Deployment utility.

 

Steps i done:
i installed TestStand 2024 Q4 in a new frech environement, then i opened TestTSand 2024 Q4 --> then i found that the engine version is TestStand 2023 Q4

Hi Hatim,

 

TestStand engine version is not same as runtime version. Your understanding is correct that for TestStand 2024 Q4 release engine version is 23.0.0 For your use case you need to configure TestStand 2024 Q4 runtime engine in TSDU to avoid the issue. 

Hope this information helps you.

 

Thanks

Hi Hatim,

You need to include TestStand 2024 Q4 Runtime component instead of TestStand 2023 Q4 Runtime component in TSDU. This should fix your problem.
