Could not load DLL or external library

Question

When I open my TS781784.seq file, I receive the following Run-Time error(s):
Run Time Error #1
Details:
Could not load DLL or external library 'C:\EADS\DKH\TADS_3584\Development\TestProgramSets\PTS\TS781784\Sequence\TS781784.dll'.
Error Code:
-17004; Could not load DLL or library.
Location(s):
Step 'Display_Screen' of sequence 'SequenceFileLoad' in 'TS781784.seq'
Run Time Error #2
Details:
Could not load DLL or external library 'C:\EADS\DKH\TADS_3584\Development\TestProgramSets\PTS\TS781784\Sequence\TS781784.dll'.
Error Code:
-17004; Could not load DLL or library.
Location(s):
Step 'Discard_Screen' of sequence 'SequenceFileLoad' in 'TS781784.seq'
I click on Continue cleanup and it will then let me edit my sequence.
The TS781784.dll is located in the Sequence directory with the .seq file.

ccats_Init.uir is not a TestStand file. It is used by a CVI dll that your sequence calls from its SequenceFileLoad callback. Since it is loaded by the CVI DLL, not TestStand, changing the TestStand search paths is not the solution.
UIR files are typically referenced via LoadPanelEx calls in a CVI DLL. If you have the source to the dll, examine the call. If the path to the UIR is absolute, then it is likely the file does not exist at that absolute location on the machine with the problem. If the path is relative (ie, just a file name), most likely the UIR is expected to be in the same directory as the DLL that loads it. Find the location of the DLL and UIR on a machine that works and compare the locations of the same files on the machine that doesn't. It might help to speak to the author of the DLL to find out where they intended the files to be located.
