The location of the text is the tooltip for the red exclamation mark icon which is named as ErrorWindow. That was seen in the properties I had posted earlier.
What I don't understand is why is there no wText property for that tooltip which will show the text.
This is a client application that I am testing and I don't have access to the source code.
I thought testcomplete can do everything with just an executable.

The answer to that will be the location of the text that we are trying to help you compare. I'm not clear why you can't just go show tristaanogre 's comment to the developer.
Well, okay, but it would have saved a lot of time if you had just said you can't talk to the developers, right?
TestComplete can work with an .exe because its actions on the screen mimic a user. However, when you start wanting to assert or compare values and your tests are not coming out as expected, then that's beyond user experience and now you have to tell TestComplete what to do.
Why there isn't a wText property where you expect one, I don't know. You said it was in your documentation but perhaps that is wrong. If it's not automatic to add one in whatever code this is, then it's possible that the developer didn't do it. I test all sorts of web pages where there's no Id or Name set up so I have to find another way around to identify the object, or in my case I can ask the developer to add a better identifier.
When you said earlier that you had been through all the Object Spy properties, does that include digging down all the levels using the buttons on the right with ... ? See my attached example.
