When generating a XBuilder project, the following error is shown in the "Output" window
"Error: Could not open x7parser.exe."
Environment
TAC XBuilder
TAC Menta
Cause
For some reason TAC Menta has not been properly registered during installation. The file x7parser.exe is part of the TAC Menta installation, if TAC XBuilder can not located the TAC Menta executable, x7parser.exe (which generated the Menta objects in the XBuilder project) can not be launched.
Resolution
The solution is to manually register TAC Menta

2. Navigate to the TAC Menta installation directory (Typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\TAC Menta 5.1.9" but this depends on OS and Menta version)
3. Enter the following command: tam32.exe /regserver
4. Press enter
5. Reopen XBuilder and generate
