HPE Performance Center 12.55 fails to start host controller with .NET Runtime error

Carter Farthing — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 20:26:53 GMT

When running a performance test in the ALM desktop, the test fails with an error stating "Run test failed. Reason: Failed to launch Controller." I checked the controller during the test and I can see Wlrun.exe start up, but then the process ends. Also, when doing a health check I get the error, "Failed to start the controller on the host. Error message: Timeout. No response was received from the controller."

Upon checking the event logs on the Host Controller, I can see two errors. Please see below:

I have tried registering .NET DLL files on the PC Host with no success. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
