Can I run tcAgPatcher.exe on a build bot?

Hello Darren,


To patch applications, tcAgPatcher.exe uses several helper libraries which reside within the TestComplete folder. If the executable is launched without these libraries, it will not succeed in processing the application. That is why, we recommend launching tcAgPatcher.exe from the default location.


To be able to run the utility from another location, follow the instructions below:


    1. Unzip the attached archive to the  <TestComplete>\Open Apps\Silverlight folder. 


    2. Run CopyAgPatcherWithLibs.bat 


This batch file copies the tcAgPatcher utility and its helper libraries to an external folder preserving the initial location of helper files. The name of the external folder can be passed via the command-line argument or typed when prompted. Both local (C:\Work\Output\) and remote (\\Builder\Output\) folder names are acceptable.


    3. If a local folder was specified, copy the resulting folder to your build computer.






That's it. Now, the tcAgPatcher utility can be launched on the build bot. It resides in the \Open Apps\Silverlight subfolder of the resulting folder.


Regards.
