Hi aparab,
did you follow the instructions in the error message? See screenshopt for configuration details.
Below a link which describes, why error code .18001 could occur:

-18001: An error occured accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server

Hi,
I'm currently investigating a problem with a Teststand 2.0 sequence. The
sequence makes use of VI's that call methods of an ActiveX. After a few
successful loops through the test sequence the error "-18001: An error
occured accessing the LabVIEW (6.1) ActiveX automation server" is brought up
in Teststand. I think that somehow the ActiveX automation server is dying
during the execution of the sequence but I don't know where to start
searching...The problem does not seem to lie within the ActiveX istself, but
I'm not sure. Using the same ActiveX within a Visual Basic Application and
performing the same commands several times does not produce a failure. Has
anybody an idea what could be the problem
Thanks, Sven.

Thanks, but I already know these entries from the Knowledge Base. I found no
help in there and my error text is also not mentioned there.

ActiveX Automation Server Error -18351

I wrote a program using TestStand Version 4.5.1 and ran into this error code as soon as I initialize it.
Error loading type library/DLL.
Error Code: -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type libarary Step 'Read Database Otion - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
Bottom line, I'm not using or planning to use any form of database with my program. I just want it to run.
There was another document with ID 4IE7CCM6 that addressed this issue. Tried it, didn't help. I also went to the related links referring to the Knowledgebase document with ID 1HBAMMSR, didn't help either.
How do I fix this?

Whether you are using database logging or not, you should not get an error like that when database options are loaded. From the kb's you specified it sounds like there was an issue with a COM/ActiveX server not getting registered in the past. Especially on machines in which TestStand was installed from a deployment rather than the main installer. Have you tried running the version switcher like the KB suggested? Did it succeed or give an error? If it gave an error what was the error? Could you perhaps try a fresh install of TestStand on a clean machine?

ActiveX Automation server error on deployed TestStand

I'm trying to deploy TestSTand 2.0 + LabVIEW 6.1 on a PC under Win-2K.
I created and deployed TS Engine and Operator Interface for LV.
I try to deploy the "Auto.seq" test from the TS exemples.
Of course, it works on my Development system.
On the deployed system, I got an error : -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library.
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
Step 'Read Database Option - Read Options' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
After having ignored those 2 errors, the tests goes on normally and the report looks fine.
I also get this error opening the database configuration:
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'
From answers already given for similar subjects, I've checked that TsDBOptions.dll is present and registered (done regsvr32...) on the PC.
Can someone help ?
Note: upgrading to more recent TS + LV versions is not a solution!

ActiveX automation server return "Error Win32"

Has anybody meet this problem: I click on the' ActiveX automation server'
in the CVI project window 'Tools' menu (CVI5.01) and then it starts to
scan all the registered components but after a while it returns an error
message like "Error Win32" so I can't work with the ActiveX components,
I tryed uninstall and reinstall the CVI and the problem remains the same.
The OS is Win NT 4.0

LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

Hi,
I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ".
BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
Thank you.

Thanks for the response, Brian.
I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code -18002
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

LV5 as ActiveX automation server

Hello,
I hope that somebody here is able to help me. I have a question about using
LabView 5 as ActiveX automation server. This works fine for me when I build
an C++ application based on the examples I got with LabView. But all
examples I found make use of MFC.
Now I have a C application that is based on pure Win32 API. My question: How
can I implement calls to LabView-automation server using Win32 API without
MFC?
Thanks for your help in advance!

It looks that you haven't selected DafEar.Admin in your module list to build the ear.
And regarding the crs, you might not have imported the crs data.
Check if you have data in cata/catb dcs_product/dcs_sku tables.
May be you might need to run CMS.

Error launching the 'LabVIEW.Application" ActiveX automation server [Error Code: -18001]

Hello,
I have TestStand 2010 and LabVIEW 2010 development systems.
In the TS LabVIEW adapter is configured to use Development System.
Till today everything worked properly.
Today I tried to run TS sequence (which worked yesterday) and got error -18001.
I changed LV adapter configuration to use LVRTE and then back to Development System - and got error -18001 again.
Please see the image below.
LV2010 development system exists and I can use it: edit and run VIs.
How can this problem happen and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

-18001; And error occurred accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server.

I installed a revised TS deployment, and got this error.
For other deployments, when this error occurred, there was a simple solution - change the Adapter in TestStand.
This time, if I change the Adapter, I cannot reload the test vi's in the test sequence, so that doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jauron,
This knowledgebase article here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D577B50A1235A088862570FA004BDD63 seems to have a solution for the issue.

Using LabVIEW RTE vs. LabVIEW ActiveX Automation Server (TestStand LVRTS) for a TestStand Deployment and experienceing Unabel to Launch LabVIEW.Application ActiveX Automation Server Error 18001

I am developing in TestStand 4.2.1 and LabVIEW 2009, I have accomplished the following:
1. Deployment package is built and deployed on PC
2. PC has activated TestStand Deployment License
3. LabVIEW 2009 RTE was selected as the adapter for the sequence and thus I believe the deployed testexec.ini contains this.
I am experiencing the following error: "see attachment".
Is the LabVIEW RTE the right selection?
Is there something I may have missed in building the deployment?
Do I need to register the ActiveX server.
THere seems to be conflicing solutions based on Version of TestStand and LabVIEW!!
Thanks!!

Howdy mobiux,
Please consider KnowledgeBase 4V58058Z: -18001 Errors in TestStand. If you're using Vista or Windows 7, then this may apply as well. You might also consider ensuring you have the proper LV version active in the TS Adapter Options.

-17702; An error occurred accessing the CVI ActiveX automation server.

I am now getting this error consistently whenever I try to debug my dll. I was able to successfully debug earlier, but it has degraded. I tried shutting down teststand and labwindows and restqarting them, but the error persists. I am using teststand 4.1.1 and labwindows/cvi 9.0.0 (348).
Anyone have any ideas? This has me stalled.

Permissions error accessing FileMaker 10 server from AppleScript

I have an set of AppleScript scripts that talk to a FileMaker server to get some data. "get cell" statements are used for this. In one of the scripts, I get an error from a "get cell" line:
get cell "Product Type" of record 4 of window "DB-Values"
--> error "Your access privileges do not allow this action." number -10004
This error is a actually a generic Apple event error message that is triggered anytime you try to enter data into a field that cannot be edited. (fromhttp://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4285/~/troubleshooting-filemak er-pro-apple-event-errors)
After the script throws this error, I go into filemaker and go to this window and I am able to read this value and edit it just fine. It is only from the script that this error occurs. There are many other calls into the DB like this in the script and they all work fine. However none of them are into this table/window (DB-Values) The server is running Snow Leopard and my machine is running Lion.

Error launching the 'LabVIEW.Application [Error Code: -18001]

Hello,
i have a TS 3.4 Sequence wit LabView 8.21-Teststeps.
The Sequence is called from an Labview-OperatorInterface.
In a step which run before 100 times without problems i suddenly get the error-message:
ErrorMessage: Error executing substep 'Run'.Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server [Error Code: -18001]
After a restart of al NI-Software everything is working normal again.
What does this error mean and what should i do with it?
Should i ignore the error and try to execute the step again or does this mean tht the ActiveX-Server was lost forever?
How can this problem happen?
Thanks for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Its difficult to know what the problems is that causes this. I am guessing you are using either the RTE or Runtime Server rather than LabVIEW Developement system.
Once you get this error you can't ignore it and hope that repeating the step will regain the link to the server. (well that's what I've noticed).
There is a patch for labview 8.2.1 http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/906/lang/en that you might what to try.
And there is TS version 4.0.

Hello Everyone,
I am using TestStand 4.0 and LabVIEW 8.5.1. I developed the LabVIEW test code module to test the DUT and integrated those modules in TestStand. I created the TestStand build and installed in PC which is not having the NI components.
The following are the error what I faced while running the test sequence
I am running a deployment version of TestStand with our own customizable operator interface. When I execute the test sequence the OI pop up's an error as follows: "An error occured accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server.[Error code: -18001]. This PC contains only the TestStand Run time. The above error is not coming when I install the LabVIEW in that running PC.

Hi,
Yes, LabVIEW runtime engine also installed. I created the TestStand build by setting the TestStand adapter to "LabVIEW Runtime Mode".
That error is not coming when i install the LabVIEW development version.
