Could you add it at the beginning of your test with this?
I don't think you can change it from the TestExecute command line, but what you could do is put that build name in a file or an Excel sheet and just let the test script read it from there every time.
Not a bad idea, but it only solves part of the problem. Even if I were to load the name from a file, I still cannot figure out how to "run" the file.
The only way I can see to startup a desktop application is to add it to "TestedApps" and use the .Run() method as stated above: TestedApps.[Executable Name].Run();
I cannot find an Execute(filename) command, or a RunFile(filename) or something like this. I even tried to simply load a variable with the filename to see if there was a "Run" method in desperation, but this obviously was not going to work and it didn't. Ex. var fileToRun = "C:\\[directory]\\[filename.exe]"; fileToRun.Run();
Am I missing something really obvious here? Is there another way to startup your app without adding it to TestedApps?
Thanks again.

This is just what I was looking for and just tested it. Works great. Thanks very much for this.

Sometimes you have to work 'outside' the test tool to do certain things.
This is how you would do it in VBscript. You would have to modify the syntax for other test languages....
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute svPathAndFile, svArguments, svStartInDir, "runas", 1
'****************************************************************************************************
' Syntax of Shell.Application
' .ShellExecute "application", "parameters", "dir", "verb", window
'
' .ShellExecute 'some program.exe', '"some parameters with spaces"', , "runas", 1Key
'
' application The file to execute (required)
' parameters Arguments for the executable
' dir Working directory. The Working directory may be different that the directory that the application is in.
' verb The operation to execute (runas/open/edit/print)
' window View mode application window (normal=1, hide=0)
