Custom PowerOutlet DLL is not recognized/selectable in ART Tester 2.46.0.205 under Windows 11.

[KlaGir]

Our custom PowerOutlet DLL is not recognized/selectable in ART Tester 2.46.0.205 under Windows 11. It seems to be Windows
specific, because the same PowerOutlet DLL is working with the same ART Tester version on a Windows 10 computer.

The DLL was generated with the .NET 8 framework and Visual Studio Community 2022. .NET 8 is also installed on the Windows 11 computer.

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks.

Please have a look at the ProductDocumentation.pdf that is in the installation folder of the Tester.
For loading custom dll files we implemented a security setting. You have to add two key to the windows registry to activate custom dll files again.
under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE”

Possible configurations
CUSTOM_POWER_OUTLET: Loading of custom power outlet dlls is enabled/disabled
USER_DEFINED_TESTCASES: Adding of any user defined testcases is enabled/disabled
Name
Data
CUSTOM_POWER_OUTLET
1 = Feature is enabled, Any other value = Feature is disabled
USER_DEFINED_TESTCASES
1 = Feature is enabled, Any other value = Feature is disabled

A more detailed explanation is in the ProductDocumentation.

That solved the problem.

Thank you very much!
