Hi Magnus,





I guess this has something to do with the service. Running TestComplete manually or using scheduled tasks is no problem. You can select "Allow service to interact with desktop" for the service. Doing so seems to notify me that TestComplete or the tested application has something to show to me but I never see anything.


You are right, the problem is that the service is running in a session without the GUI. However, enabling the 'Allow service to interact with desktop' option should help. Do you have any user logged in to the computer when the TestComplete test is launched by the service with this option enabled? Exactly how does this option 'notifies' you that TestComplete has "something to show"?
