FactoryTalk View Studio application manager could not restore apa application, complaining that “Unable to restore the application ….”

If you still have this message after you reboot your computer, then make sure the following services are started using control panel -> services:

  • RSLinx Enterprise
  • Rockwell Directory Server
  • Rockwell Application Services
  • FactoryTalk Diagnostics Local Reader

If all of them are started and you still have the above problem, the RSLink Enterprise on your computer maybe damaged. You need to remove your existing RSLink Enterprise and install it again from your installation disc as shown in the picture below:
