TestExecute 10 - Can't run /SilentMode from CMD

I created a very simple project that opens Windows Calculator and closes it. It is bound to Source Control Perforce P4V.

 

I can run it in CMD without /SilentMode, but not with /SilentMode. When I call TestExecute, it doesn't load in Task Manager Processes. Am I missing something?

 

[Please see attached screenshot.]

 

The project runs fine in TC10 and FinalBuilder7.

Command Line

    These tests were created in TC9. Once I converted them to TC10 in CMD (without /SilentMode), everything is ok now and they can run now with /SilentMode successfully!

      The Silent Log is blank. Should I delete the actual Silent Log file and try running it again? (Will the Silent Log be recreated if I delete the file?)

    Is the project checked out in Perforce? When you run either TestExecute or TestComplete with the /SilentMode switch, that also automatically saves any changes in the project files, typically log results, but if the project is not checked out in Peforce, then the files are read only and cannot be saved.

    Note: For future reference if this happens again, it turns out that when I had /SilentMode, nothing was happening even though I had /ForceConversion turned on. But when I removed /SilentMode, and only had /ForceConversion, it worked to convert the suite. Now /SilentMode /ForceConversion work together.
