Solution

This error is reported because the ASAM XIL assembly for the specific version could not be found. To fix this issue, make sure all of the following is done:
  • You have installed NI VeriStand for version of the project you are trying to automate.
  • If you are using step to create Framework or Target Script from configuration files, the Product Version has been specified in:
    • Configuration XML file. You can use Notepad or XML Notepad to edit.
