Hi,

 

When the Test Agent is registered on a test host, it automatically searches for all supported automation tools present on this host (TestComplete/TestExecute, ReadyAPI, JUnit, TestNG, NUnit). The messages you get mean that neither TestComplete, nor TestExecute are installed on the target host. 

Since you are using a different automation agent (TestNG (Selenium)), you should not have any problems with running your tests. Could you please clarify what actually happens when you start your TestNG test from QAComplete?

    I am still working on this issue to create a brand machine and add as a host to QAComplete. Please hold until I setup the our systems. I will get back to you as soon as I am done. I appreciate your patience and help.
