    tristaanogre ya I tried that code which you referred it was not working and  that link is the shortcut link which am trying to access , since the application is in some other virtual network .

     

    HKosova am about to post that I found the way of launching as you mentioned " testedapp " , which I have created & given the total virtual network path in it and I used .Run which launched the application :D

tristaanogre thanks for the detailed info,  as suggested I have changed but facing the python runtime error at this point 

 DbgServices.LaunchTestedApplication(WinFolder+"C:\\Users\\saikris\\Desktop\\Teachers_debug.lnk")

Something I just realized... you are using the "WinFolder" variable AND then pointing to the C:\Users directory... so, in other words, the path you're sending to the launch is C:\Windows\C:\Users|...

Remove the "WinFolder+" from your string so you have.

 

DbgServices.LaunchTestedApplication("C:\\Users\\saikris\\Desktop\\Teachers_debug.lnk")

Also, as asked, is there a particular reason why you are using DbgServices instead of TestedApps and why are you launching the .lnk instead of the .exe?
