Why Do I Receive Error 17501 Each Time I Open TestStand?

Primary Software: TestStand
Primary Software Version: 3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: 3.1
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
When I open the TestStand sequence editor, TestStand crashes and I receive a message stating:
Error 17501: Unable to load Test Environment adapter
The error message asks me for a CVI file but I do not have CVI installed. How do I fix this error?

Solution:
The problem can be fixed by changing a DCOM setting on your computer.

1. Go to Start»Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Component Services
   
2. Expand the Component Services tree
   

   
   

3. Navigate to Computers»My Computer»DCOM Config»NI TestStand AutoMgr
   
   
   
   
4. Right-click NI TestStand AutoMgr and go to Properties
   
5. Click on the Identity tab
   
6. Choose the Launching User to run this application
   
   
   
   
   
7. Click on Apply
   
8. Close the Component Services window
