[LV - TS] How to execute a SEQ file, get the result (PASS/FAIL) and the report file ?

Question

Hello,
I'm looking for the most obvious and simple way to, from Labview :
1- Start the Teststand engine : DONE
2- Get a list of SEQ files to execute : DONE
3- Loop through the list to execute each SEQ file : <- found some examples but I have some trouble with the UIMessage stuff
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsexamples/infotopics/executing_sequences_using_api_labview/
4- Get the result of the SEQ execution : <- unsure
5- Get the XML path+name of the report file generated : <- obviously not easy

Hello,
I tried to work from this example :

However it remains unclear about how to get a simple
answer from just running a sequence file out of any
model so far (Simple Pass). Like I told you, all what
I need, once the TS engine is started, is a VI with the
following interface :
INPUT
1- TS engine reference
2- SEQ file path (path or string)
3- Sequence name to execute
4- UUT string (optional, but yeah)
5- error in
OUTPUT
1- Result boolean (PASS/FAIL)
2- Path to XML report
3- error out
It would be so cool to just have this
About the surrounding UI, I'm working on it. The LV
code is not really important at this point, it's running
a SEQ file that matters to me.
