@Jaker20 , can you confirm the OS you are using including whether 32- or 64-bit?

What installation path are you using and what is your primary system drive letter?

I'm working on a fix to allow the user to override the VeriStand installation path using the Initialize VeriStand Step Type properties.

Jaker20 commented 5 years ago

@adchurch the OS using 46-bit, I'm using the NI Package Maninstallation to installation the primary system drive letter is C.

adchurch commented 5 years ago

Hi @Jaker20 , to be clear, your system drive is C: and NI VeriStand is installed on D: ?

Jaker20 commented 5 years ago

Hi @adchurch the system drive is C,and NI VeriStand is installed on D. the NI veristand need installed on system drive?

adchurch commented 5 years ago

@Jaker20 we will have a fix for this in the next day or so.

Version 8.1.0 of the step types will include support for a configuration file to override VeriStand's application installation path.

Example configuration file: ni-veristand-steps-configuration-file ni-veristand-steps-config-file-loc

Both the Initialize VeriStand and Start VeriStand step types will search for the ni-veristand-steps-configuration.conf INI file when trying to launch VeriStand. If the veristand_application_path key is found under the [paths] section then this path will be used to launch VeriStand instead of the default installation path.

Start VeriStand Block Diagram startveristand_refactor_top Getting Default Installation Directory startveristand_get_default_app_path Looking for the Installation Path in Configuration File startveristand_search_for_conf_file

The steps should now return a useful error if there is an error launching the VeriStand executable. startveristand_error
