Good Day,

I am having issues getting VSTA to work in RS 5.08. The following error occurs each time I attempt to open VSTA.

Hello,

First, try running this command (Start → Run…)  
“C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEVSTA.exe” /HostID RobotStudio /setup

If that doesn’t help, run the RobotStudio Support Tool, go to the “Fault Log Files” tab and click “Perform Scan”. If there is a file called “VSTA.rserrors”, please post the contents here and we’ll take a look at it.
