ActiveX Automation Server Error 18351 on Deployed TestStand Target

Primary Software: TestStand
Primary Software Version: 3.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
After I deploy a working sequence to a target computer, I'm getting the following error message:

Error loading type library/DLL.
Error Code:  -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.Seq'

How do I fix it?

Solution:
The error occurs when TestStand is having trouble accessing the Database activeX server. Here's a couple things to try:

Navigate to Start » National Instruments » TestStand x.x » TestStand Version Selector. Select the version of TestStand you are trying to use (even if it is the only option) and click Make Active. This will re-register all the necessary activeX components.

The activeX server for database is stored in the follow location:

<TestStand>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\Database\
DBOptions\TsDBOptions.dll

If the version selector does not fix the issue, you can try manually register this server. To do so, please following the knowledgebase in the related links section below.
