TestedApps path differs between 32 bit and 64 bit Windows version

Hello,



I'd like to install the application to be tested to its default path. With Windows XP this is a subfolder of c:\program files.

With 64 Bit Windows 7 the application automatically gets installed to a subfolder of c:\program files (x86).



I've read now that I can change the File Path but I'm not sure how to do it in such a automatic way that the same projects can run unmodified on all computers. The thing with project and project suite variables I didn't yet understand completely. So has anybody any ideas? For instance if I could determine the correct path I might perhaps change the path to the tested file at runtime?



Greetings



Markus

    Hello Markus,



    You can use the script below:





    function GetProgramFilesPath()


    {


     var os32bit, os64bit, Path


     os32bit = aqEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles");


     os64bit= aqEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles", true);



     if (Sys.OSInfo.Windows64bit)


      Path = os64bit; 


     else


      Path = os32bit;



     return Path; 


    }





    Please refer to the OSInfo.Windows64bit and aqEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable articles to learn more about the methods used in the code.
