Resolution

This issue occurs if SCIEX OS 1.6.1 software is installed on the same computer as Analyst® software.

To resolve this issue, check the folder located at:
C:\ProgramData\AB SCIEX\ReporterOfficeAddins\TemplateContentControlManager\ProviderSpecificTypes
and ensure that all the xml files inside that directory have unique ProviderNames in the xml file (i.e., there shouldn't be more than one "Quantitation" provider).

Presuming SCIEX OS software will be used more frequently than Analyst software, please use the following instructions to resolve the issue:

  1. Backup AnalystReporterCustomTypes.xml to a separate folder.
  2. After the file is saved, delete it from C:\ProgramData\AB SCIEX\ReporterOfficeAddins\TemplateContentControlManager\ProviderSpecificTypes folder.
  3. Restart the PC.
