Remote run yields "The path is not of a legal form"

If a VB project contains a coded step like this:
me.ExecuteTest("Folder1\SubTest.tstest")

It will run perfect locally but you will get the following error when you try to run it on a scheduling server:
'2/14/2014 2:09:10 PM' - 'Fail' : 1. [WebTest_CodedStep] : New Coded Step

Also this issue is applicable for all test cases i.e. test cases which are not being called from code behind.

I have installed latest version of telerik studio May2014. But with this update many of test cases gets error that unable to load test case. 

So how can I overcome this issue?

Telerik: We have now improved the logging and in such situation the error message will detect missing test as step in code and will report such error. The fix will be available in our next product planned release in April 2014.

Telerik: This is a known issue and is not VB specific and is the same for C# projects. The problem is that when there is a test that is called to be run from code in Remote Execution scenario, when uploading the Test List with the Storage Service to DB, we don't upload the test used as step in the code, because we don't know what test is called from the code. However there is a workaround to overcome the situation: if you create a Temp test list and include in it all tests that are called from code as steps and then run this Temp list Remotely, this will upload all those tests to DB. By doing this you will ensure all needed tests are in the DB and then when you run you original Test Lists remotely it will download from DB all tests relative for the project (including the ones from the Temp list that are called as steps from code) and Test List will run successfully and find all its needed tests.
