What do the project suite and projects look like? Do you have your projects added to the project suite and enabled? Do you have Test Items added and enabled in your projects?

    Yes, what cunderw said.  Do the TestComplete tests run on the TestExecute machine by running them from the TC project suite directly?

    I have 2 project suites .Each project Suite has one project. 

    Projects are enabled. I have mentioned the location of project suites in the script .

    What do you get when you run "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\TestExecute.exe" "C:\Users\nisgupta\Documents\TestComplete\IS\Infrastructure\HSC\SECCProjectSuite\SECCProjectSuiteHSC.pjs" /r /e directly from cmd window?

    Ran the same command directly from cmd window and it works - it launch the TE and run the Project Suite .

    Did you create this batch file in Word or Google docs?  If so, I would paste it into Notepad or some other plain text editor and resave it.  It may have control characters in it that are causing a problem.

    I wrote the script in Notepad. Saved as .bat extension.

    Finally I figured out. 

    Here we can mention the following commands in bat file when running multiple projects in sequence

     

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\TestExecute.exe"  "Path to the Project1.mds" /run /exit

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\TestExecute.exe" "path to Project2.mds" /run /exit

     

    We can also continue running the GUI tests if close the RDP connection. The details are in the link below.

    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/running/via-rdp/keeping-computer-unlocked.html 

    To disconnect from Remote Desktop, run the following command on the remote computer (in the Remote Desktop window) as an Administrator:

    %windir%\System32\tscon.exe RDP-Tcp#NNN /dest:console

    RDP-Tcp#NNN is the ID of your current Remote Desktop session, for example, RDP-Tcp#0. You can see it in the Windows Task Manager on the Users tab, in the Session column.
