    There are at least 3 ways do achieve what you need:



    1. Dynamically change path to TestedApp

    2. Use WScript.Shell

    Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe", SW_SHOWNORMAL);



    3. Use WinAPI

    Win32API.WinExec("C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I actually wanted to use a local variable for setting a path. I found it using Path property of TestedApps.



Thanks for the instant support which drives us to use TestComplete.
