I’m having trouble running a program developed with the PC SDK as a service.

When calling or setting the controller, the DLL \> **ABB.Robotics.Controllers.PC.dll** \< throws an error.

> _The type initializer for “ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Controller” threw an exception._\<

This my Code:  
“**mController = Controller.Connect(mAnlage.GUI, ConnectionType.Standalone)**”

Where “mController = ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Controller”

I read the GUI beforehand with a WindowsForm app and also assigned the controller with it. It doesn’t seem to work in a service. The same result when I try to assign a controller via the ControllerInfoCollection. The Netscanner also throws errors in a service when initializing. Is there any workaround?
