When you want to configure search directories for deploying a TestStand system, you can manually add additional search paths to the list of default search paths on the target computer. The TestStand Deployment Utility does not copy additional search paths because the new directories might not exist on the target computer.

NI recommends installing the <TestStand Application Data>\Cfg\SearchDirectories.cfg file with the deployment for that system because TestStand stores the search directories in SearchDirectories.cfg. Use the Force File to Install option on the Distributed Files tab of the TestStand Deployment Utility to overwrite existing files.
