Champion Level 3From past experience, it's best not to upgrade, unless it's absolutely necessary. Every minor version seems to constantly have issues!
Is your pipeline calling a batch file, having parameters to launch TC/TE? If yes, does calling the batch file work?
I tried the command line on the Hyper-V in a cmd window
In 15.75 - it did nothing
In 15.74 - it worked as it should to start up TE
I'll continue to play with and debug
Champion Level 3"In 15.75 - it did nothing" - this suggests that something is wrong with your command. Are you able to provide the actual commands you are using?
This works in In 15.74 or below, but not for 15.75
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\Bin\TestExecute.exe" "C:\Git.ClaimValidationService\ClaimValidationService\EmbeddedSolutions\TestComplete\TC15_Version\EmbeddedSolutionsProjSuite\EmbeddedSolutionsProjSuite.pjs" /r /e /SilentMode /DoNotShowLog /p:EmbeddedSolutions /test:"Script|Smoke_Group_1|SmokeGroup1" /PrjVar:NwkENV=B2B /PrjVar:ReportqTestResults=true
Champion Level 3Can you verify that TestExecute launches as normal (not via command line, and on the same machine it's failing on)?
Then ensure that the application is fully closed and does not appear in the task bar.
Can you modify your command line so that it uses x64 executable file instead,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\x64\Bin\TestExecute.exe"and also add the following parameters (modify the path as appropriate),
/ExportLog:"C:\Sandbox\Log\index.html" /ExportSummary:"C:\Sandbox\Log\SummaryReport.xml"Can you then test the batch file, does it work? If no, then what does index.html and SummaryReport.xml show? If yes, run via your ADO pipeline - again, what does index.html and SummaryReport.xml show if it fails?
Since you have mentioned "Hyper V", take note of the following
A Fixed User license cannot be used on physical computers that have Hyper-V enabled. To run TestComplete, you can use a Floating license, or you can disable Hyper-V
