    Hi,

     

    To my knowledge, AQtrace is a product by AutomatedQA (a company name before it became SmartBear) that ended its life back in 2008 or 2009 and it should not be related to modern versions of TestComplete and TestExecute.

    You may consult your local guys if they know what for AQtrace is running on this given machine. If nobody knows, you may try to disable all AQtrace-related services (using services.msc applet) and check if it creates any problem to anyone.

     

    Or talk to your developers whether they still compile your tested application with AQtrace modules. If they do, create a Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form as QAtrace well may be incompatible with modern versions of TestComplete/TestExecute and/or operating systems.
