    TestExecute is already running.  You can only have one instance running.  Check the Windows Task Manager . . . you should see it listed.

      Hi Joseph,

       

      No it is not available in Task manager, while executing above statement it is listed in Task Manager window and throwing error.

      If I removed TestExecute from Task Manager and again run above statement it's giving same error.

       

      I did not understand why it is !

        What are you running this in to try and create a TestExecute instance?

         

        Are you running TestComplete to try and start TestExecute?

         

        If you're trying to start a second TestExecute instance (on the same local machine) by running FROM TestExecute then it's not going to work ...
