testedapps path

Hi,



i have added Excel in my tested apps, in my system its path is 



C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE



but in other system it is



C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\EXCEL.EXE



how to make this generic? so that irrespective of Office version it should open the excel file that i want to work on??

     [VBScript]



    Set foundFiles = aqFileSystem.FindFiles("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\", "Excel.exe",True)

     If Not foundFiles Is Nothing Then

         While foundFiles.HasNext

           Set aFile = foundFiles.Next

            app = TestedApps.Add(aFile.path)

             TestedApps.Items(app).Params.ActiveParams.CommandLineParameters = Chr(34) & "C:\logins.xlsx" & Chr(34)

            TestedApps.Items(app).Run

       Wend

    End if

    Hi u can add tested app at runtime



    http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/57376/#ID0ELCAC



    and u can search for a testedapp and add it from ur script this will avoid dynamic filepath issue at several systems



     Set foundFiles = aqFileSystem.FindFiles("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\", "Excel.exe",True)

     If Not foundFiles Is Nothing Then

         While foundFiles.HasNext

           Set aFile = foundFiles.Next

            app = TestedApps.Add(aFile.path)

            TestedApps.Items(app).Run

       Wend

    glad it helped.



    but  remember to remove the testedapp from the list when the testcase execution is completed or else everytime it adds the new testedapp at the beginning of the execution somthing like 



      Excel..Excel1..Excel2....so on 



    also u can use  somethin like this



    if Testedapp.Count>0 then

     

    .....Execute function



    End if
