32-bit TestStand sequence file:
RunState.Engine.GetAdapterByKeyName("G Flexible VI Adapter").AsLabVIEWAdapter.SetServerInfo(LabVIEWServer_RTEServer,"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\National Instruments\\Shared\\LabVIEW Run-Time\\<xxxx>>\\lvrt.dll")
Where xxxx is the version of LabVIEW Run-Time. An example is shown below

64-bit TestStand sequence file:
