Object Browser seeing the same object differently on VM

hey everyone,

 

hit on a weird issue I'm scratching my head on how to solve. I have an application that I'm running tests for that is in Powerbuilder. All requisite configurations are set as far as I can tell. Using the exact same project, TestComplete version, database, etc, if I look at a panel object on my local machine in object browser it is being correctly displayed as UIAObject("dw_template"). 

 

However, if I observe the exact same panel object on my VM, it instead is seen as Window("pbdw170", "", 2).

 

This is obviously throwing off my tests, and I'm ripping my hair out trying to find what could possibly be causing this discrepancy. Any thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome.

    You need to install TestComplete on your VM and run the test from there.

      .... how else do you think I'm using object browser in my VM to examine the application there?

        Other users get those sort of results when they try to use TestComplete to test something across a connection to a VM.
