TestComplete 9.2 can't recognise objects on Win8

Hi,

I'm using the latest TestComplete 9.2. I have no problems with the object spy seeing objects on 2008. However, when I try Win8, the object viewer can't recognice any of the installer screens as before. The application is just a normal install wizard.

Am I missing some plugin?

Thanks,

A.

    Hi Brandon,


     



    I haven't try TestComplete on Win8 yet, but I think that clarification of Tanya's questions makes sense: do you start TestComplete as Administrator? I.e. do you right-click the shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator' option? And what about UAC?

    Any information on this? I assume Win8 is supported by TestComplete 9.2 as Server 2012 is!

    Thanks,

    Hi Jack,


     


    TestComplete 9.20 does support Windows 8. The only limitation is that testing Metro apps is impossible in TC. Do you start TestComplete as an Administrator? Is UAC turned off?

    I'm having the same problem it seems. I'm using the latest 9.30.3373.7 in Windows 8. The object spy is unable to allocate objects for a windows installer. This isn't an issue on Windows 7. Seems when I attempt to use the object spy the entire desktop is determined the target rather than the installer window. I think the support agent in this thread should try it before answering, obviously theres an issue in Windows 8. Were you able to find a work around this Jack?
