 Hi All,

I am getting below error in CIW while opening virtuoso XL. And then XL not opening.  My version is 615. Could you please let me know the reason for this?

*Error* append: argument #1 should be a list or another acceptable type - t

 

 Thank you,

Sarvani

     Hi Andrew,

    I don't have account in customer support. I'll inform this to my administrator and then suggest him to contact customer support. I got below error in CIW when I followed your code.
