Cannot find InstallShield in Object Browser

Hi, 



I'm trying to automate the installation of my product, but I can't seem to map the InstallShield UI elements. Previous automation, written years ago by someone else and using TestComplete 8, had code for this functionality, so I assume it must be possible. I can't seem to find the InstallShield in the Object Browser, nor using the "map object from screen" tool. 



I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any advice would be appreciated. 



Thanks.

    Hello, 



    For anyone who was wondering, I found the solution in  this forum discussion. 





    The solution was to run TestComplete with admin privileges (right-click "run as administrator") . 





    This wasn't necessary until Windows Vista, which is why the previous test project (which was written on Windows XP) had no problem detecting MSIExec.
