RobotStudio 2026 doesn't start virtual controller from pack and go and cannot create one from layout either

  • Solutions are legacy - they got replaced by Projects in later versions of RS.
  • Projects (and Solutions) contained Station file(s).
  • Back in the day, before version control was added, people used multiple Station files as a primitive version control. This is not useful any longer.

TL:DR - Always work with Projects, unless you’re using a legacy version of RobotStudio that still uses Solutions.
