    Hello everyone,



    I think I can share another possible solution I suggested to Dirk within a support case on the matter:

    1. Create an intermediate .NET application and explicitly load the needed assemblies to it.



    2. Build the project using the needed version of .NET.



    3. In order to call the needed routines from TestComplete, run the intermediate application and call them through the AppDomain.dotNET property (to learn more, see the "dotNET Property" help topic):

    Sys.Process("fakeApp").AppDomain("fakeApp.exe").dotNET

Hi Dirk,



You're right - actually, the "tcHostingProcess.exe.config" approach should work. Since it didn't, possibly, you have an x64 OS and the needed config file should reside in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 9\x64\Bin" folder. Did you try modifying the "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 9\x64\Bin\tcHostingProcess.exe.config" file?
