    As for your initial question, IE is the only way to open it, indeed.

    However, it won't allow you to export as a single file still. The best way to proceed is to archive the html log.

Have you tried any of these? If so which ones actually work.  Every viewer I have tried does not actually work. Most haven't been updated in years.

    Thanks. That one does open the files which is better than most of the third party apps I have tried that claim to do the same thing.  It however doesn't really function well beyond opening, it either crashed or hung with seconds of me trying to browse my log every time I tried.

     

    Anyone else tried something that works in all cases?

     

    Anonymous  have any comments or ideas?  How do you plan to resolve this with Windows 11?

     

    Thanks

      I heard that the TestComplete product team is working on improving test reporting later this year. .mht seems to have a lot of limitations.
