941043 | 135941 | Misleading Error -19024 Occurs When Building Packages That includes a TestStand Sequence File that Calls a LabVIEW Oroject That is Missing FilesBuilding a TestStand sequence that calls a LabVIEW project that has any missing items will give "Error -19024 The following projects are open in the LabVIEW development system.

Workaround: Ensure that any LabVIEW projects called by TestStand sequence files have all of their items and files. | Reported Version: Resolved Version: Added: |
941834 | 897464 | Solution Load Error Occurs When Package Installer Contains Packages from Unavailable Network LocationsOpening a solution errors when the solution contains an input file or directory that is specified using a network path, i.e. \\server\share. Workaround: Create a mapped drive letter, i.e. SUBST T: \\server\share\, and configure the input item to use the mapped drive for the input file or directory, e.g. T:\directory\file.ext. Edit the solution file contents to change the network path to mapped drive path before opening the solution file. | Reported Version: Resolved Version: Added: |
941836 | 897669 | Solution load error occurs when package installer contains packages from unavailable network locationsIf a package Installer in a solution contains packages from a network location and the network location is not accessible, loading the solution fails and reports an error stating "An error occurred while loading the solution".
