2008 Server 64 bit testing

I am trying to get my scripts running on 2008 Server 64 bit environment but the following error is generated when I try to run the application from tested apps :



Unable to run "C:\appfolder\app.exe"

Working folder: C:\appfolder

Parameters: [n\a]



I can manually go to the file directory specified and run our executable successfully.  Any ideas why this might occur?  I have it set to run in simple mode with no specified parameters.



Thanks,

Morgan

    If you record or developed your scripts on a 32 bit box and your application typically installs to the Program Files directory, you will have a mismatch in your directory structure.  64-bit Windows OS has a Program Files (x86) and a Program Files (x64) directories.  



    Could you double check your TestedApp pathing in your project and compare it to the actual path of installation on your 2008 server?

    Hi Martin!



    Appreciate the response.  I took a look at it and even deleted and readded the tested app (mapped it to the file path using the 'picker').  I am still receiving the same error.  The application is installed to the C:\appname\ directory.



    Any other ideas?  How puzzling...



    Thanks,

    Morgan

    Does your application require certain user capabilities/permissions?  It's possible that TestComplete is running under a set of permissions that does not allow your application to run.  Try closing down TestComplete and running it as an administrator and see if that works.

    That is totally what it was.  Brilliant!  Thank you so much for your assistance with this puzzling issue!
