TestStand Upgraded but lost search directories

[mike_22]

Hi:

I just upgraded TestStand  from 3.1 to 4.2.  When I tried to run a sequence file, TestStand asked me where a vi was.  it's clear that its TestStand asking.

How can I port over the list of Search Directories from 3.1 to 4.2.

Thanks,

Mike

Looks like it was just one vi.  This isn't serious enough to warrent a post, and if I could figure out how to remove this post I would!

Mike,

The TestStand search directories are stored in TestExec.ini, one of the TestStand configuration files.  If you wanted to move the search directories from one version to another, you could simply open the original file and copy the Search Directories section to the destination TestExec.ini file.  There are many options contained inside TestExec.ini in addition to search directories and some of those may have changed between versions, so you don't want to copy over the entire file, just the pertinent information.


The TestExec.ini file is in an ASCII text format, however if you want to copy information inside any of the other .ini files, you may want to be aware of the fact that in TestStand 4.0 and later, some of these files aren't in ASCII format by default.

Got it.   I've found the files and see where the directories are placed.

Thanks John.
