ADO Pipeline Fails with Exit Code '2147483647' and Upgrading to TC/TE 15.75

I noticed recently for my ADO pipelines, as I have updated my Hyper-Vs to the latest TC\TE 15.75,

My ADO pipelines are failing to launch TC\TE.

##[error]Cmd.exe exited with code '2147483647'.

When uninstall and downgrade back down to TC\TE 15.74 my ADO pipelines work again.

Anyone seen this or have any advise on what is going on here.

I am updating my TC\TE like I done in the past as newer minor versions come out.

    Now that TestComplete 15.76 is out, I'll being p[laying with that version to see if my issue has been resolved itself.

    I'll report back.

    The error code 2147483647 from cmd.exe is a high-level indication that something went wrong during execution, but it's not very specific by itself. This value could usually means:

    • An unhandled exception occurred in the application.
    • There's a deeper issue like missing dependencies, incorrect path, or permissions.

    Since your Azure DevOps (ADO) pipeline is failing specifically when launching TestComplete or TestExecute only after upgrading to 15.75 and your installation is valid, I can only suggest you attempt further isolation:

    1. On your Hyper-Vs run TeswtComplete/TestExecute manually to validate operation and license access
    2. In Console run the pipeline command line and check for any crash logs in "C:\ProgramData\SmartBear\TestExecute\Logs" and any error reported in "Event Viewer > Application Logs"

    Beside that I suggest you revert back to 15.74 and report to SmartBear support by creating an incident.

    SmartBear - no new changes in the Command-line syntax that would be causing this error in TC\TE 15.75 ?

    I send in my cmd line from my ADO pipeline Command Line Script task.
    Again, this works for 15.74 but not for 15.75

      From 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
