Ribbon help with running Executable files

(OP)
I have a NX7.5 TBR that I have being displayed in a ribbon enviroment in NX9 but the system command types will not run. I get the error "unknown Action Type: listing out the path and command" We are running NX9.0.3.4 and I can create icons within NX that works, but can't get the ribbon based icons to run without the error. What I am trying to do is to add the ribbon commands behind the TBR callout. See RBN file that I am using below.

I am thinking that there needs to be some type of line that defines the button type, which should be set to system command.

I do get the commands to populated in the tab as expected, just not able to run the action for the icons.

Do anyone see what is not correct or know of a better way to create these 3 system command icons that I can tie in with the TBR and push across all engineers?

Thanks,

Kevin
