We are having issues with v7.52 after we updated to Visual Studio 2010, which runs on the new .Net 4 framework. Does 7.52 support this or will there be a patch soon to fix the issue? Or do we have to wait for TestComplete 8 to run any of our tests?

We're seeing some issues with version 7.52.678 on Server 2008 R2 64-bit with .NET v4.Our dotNET object calls aren't being recognized correctly, resulting in runtime errors.Intellisense finds the base dotNET object, but can't be evaluated to anything beyond.What kind of issues are you seeing?

Sounds like the same scenario. We are seeing if our TestComplete 8 beta machine w/ .NET 4 finds anything beyond the base object.

Hello Sean and Jeff,This is a known problem caused by changes in the release version of .NET Framework 4. You can read more about the problem in the TestComplete FAQ:My .NET applications are not recognized as Open Applications. Why?Complete support for .NET Framework 4.0 applications will appear in TestComplete 8.There is a fix for TestComplete 7.52 that makes this version work correctly with applications created for .NET Framework 4 Beta 2 and earlier. Please contact our Support Team to get the fix:http://smartbear.com/support/message/?prod=TestComplete

Thanks Alex! We're looking forward to TC8.Jeff

Thanks for the link Sean!

Alex: How do we go about qualifying for the TestComplete 8 Beta? We're pretty heavily invested in TestComplete 7 automation, so it would be nice to check out version 8 sooner rather than later (knowing full well it's a beta release, and not a final release candidate).

Hi Jeff,

> How do we go about qualifying for the TestComplete 8 Beta?

As per http://www.automatedqa.com/blogs/post/10-03-16/testcomplete-8-beta-starts-soon/, TC8 Beta is limited and invite only. The person who is registered at AQA as a customer from your side had to receive an invitation. Ask this person and there should be a link to apply for TC8 Beta on the Customer Login home page at AQA portal (https://clientservices.automatedqa.com/).
