Unable to launch Test Execute/Test Complete from another Java Application(Non-admin) mode in Win 10

This issue is found specific only to Test Execute and Test Complete(both version 12). I'm able to launch any other application from my Java application(Also in Non-Admin) apart from these two. The er...

    All that code will do that you showed me is run the application... it won't execute any tests or anything like that.  I'm assuming you're aware of that.

     

    In any case, go to Tools | Options | General... there's a flag there for "Enable support for testing Windows Store applications".  If that is checked, as per the help, you may have issues... see below.


    With the Windows Store applications support enabled, TestComplete stops supporting several test features you may want to use:

    • Automating TestComplete via COM (to do this, you need to configure your application in a certain manner).

    • Running tests in Connected and Self-Testing Applications (the applications will not be able to connect to TestComplete).

    • You may also experience problems with various tools that launch TestComplete via COM or command line.

    EDIT: What cunderw mentions is relevant as well.  You need to launch the app as a cmd command line, same syntax you would use if you ran this under Windows Task Schedular.  Thanks, Carson!

    Still though, the way you're launching is it not working, most like due to something with UAC like tristaanogre mentioned. The windows store application support could be to blame here as well.

I have to same problem. My Java Application is a Jenkins slave. And I see the same error message when I execute the TestComplete plugin step.

I also run Windows10, I elvevated the rights of Java, Jenkins and also TestComplete. I tried with TC11&12. I tried with a almost empty project suit. Nothing helped.

 

The same Jenkins job works with Windows7 virtual machine.

 

Also I can launch TestComplete with a Jenkins cmd line step. But I really like the TestComplete setp because it takes care of the results as well.

    I read the solution from tristaanogre again. Unchecked the Windows store option and now it works! Awesome.

      Good to know that fixed it! It was an educated guess but it seemed like the likeliest solution.  Thanks for replying that it worked!
