Task manager and TestComplete 7

Hi,



I am using Testcomplete 7 and am trying to start some of my tests with the built in taskmanager for WinXP.

I am follwing the these (sample) instructions:

"C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\My Projects\MySuite.pjs" /r /p:MyProj



from this article: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/10998/



My problem is that it will open testcomplete, but does not select the project suite (it hangs). Is this an issue with Testcomplete 7 (the document mentions testcomplete8)?



Or am I dealing with a different issue.



Also, I tried this with Win7 as well and it will not even start Testcomplete.



Hopefully someone has figured this out and can help me.



Thanks,

Ronald

    Check the path. If Windows 7 is x64, it can be Program Files (x86):



    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Automated QA\TestComplete 7\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\My Projects\MySuite.pjs" /r /p:MyProj



    I noticed some time hanging of TC 7, but it does not happen with TC 8

    Hello,


    There is a known issue in TestComplete 7: one of Windows updates can cause the tool to hang on start. We were able to work around the problem in TestComplete 8, but there were no updates for TestComplete 7 that could fix the issue. TestComplete 7 should not hang if you launch it with the /ns command-line parameter.
