    If you close the application, then it no longer exists.  If it doesn't exist, then the object Aliases.Live_Earth is no longer a valid object.  SO, you can't call "Exists" property from a non-existant object.  

     

    A better way to check for existance is the following:

     

    CloseLE.Click(); // "X" to close LE
Aliases.Live_Earth.AreYouSureClose.Close.Click(); // Close confirmation
var liveEarthProcess = Aliases.WaitAliasChild('Live_Earth', 2000);
if(liveEarthProcess.Exists && liveEarthProcess.WaitAliasChild('SaveForNextTime', 2000).Exists) {
   Aliases.Live_Earth.SaveForNextTime.Discard.Click();
}

    That was close. I ended up making the assignment before the close confirmation and that seems to work. 

     

    Thanks!

     

        CloseLE.Click(); // "X" to close LE
    var liveEarthProcess = Aliases.WaitAliasChild('Live_Earth', 2000);
    Aliases.Live_Earth.AreYouSureClose.Close.Click(); // Close confirmation

      Maybe it is actually Crashing...

       

      The second time I ran it I got the same message: The Live Earth.exe process crashed.

       

      But I'm getting no other indication that the executable is crashing, it's shutting down like normal and when I start it up again the things I changed are saved.
