TestComplete: Desktop app in Cobol and TC crash when I try to ObjectSpy it
I am looking into if I can automate an older company app written in COBOL, 32-bit.
I am using TC 15.73 Pro. x86
I am running the app 'As an Admin' alone with TC 'As an Admin'
After opening the desktop app, and trying to look at it in the Object Browser tree
or ObjectSpy it, I get an app crash along with a TC crash.
Any suggestions from folks here on options to try to get this to work?
