TestExecute not recognizing objects on my application.

Question

I have a script that works fine when I run it on TestComplete. It also works fine when I run TestExecute on the same computer that TestComplete is installed. But when I run TextExecute on a different computer, it doesn't recognize objects on my application.

I look in the log and I see:

Object That Was Not Found

Alias: Aliases.MyApp

Name Mapping Item: NameMapping.Sys.MyApp.

Is there anything I need do to make sure TestExecute will properly use NameMapping?

I am using TestComplete/TestExecute 9.2.

What properties&nbsp;are used to map&nbsp;your&nbsp;MyApp element?

OK...&nbsp;under Mapped Objects, you should see a collopsed node that says "Sys". &nbsp;Expand that. &nbsp;Somewhere in that list is your app (you called it "MyApp"). &nbsp;Click on that.
&nbsp;
In the right hand side then, you should see all the properties being used to map your application. &nbsp;For example, in this screenshot, I'm mapping the Windows Paint application as Aliases.mspaint and it is using the simple criteria that it has a process name of "mspaint".
&nbsp;
If, on the off chance, MS Paint starts and it has a DIFFERENT process name than "mspaint", even though the application is running, Aliases.mspaint will return an object not found error.

TE can't find your application on a different computer. Make sure that your app has the same namemapping properties there.

The application has the same name and the same path as it does on the computer where TestComplete is installed. How do I check the NameMapping properties on the computer where I am running TestExecute?

I tried bypassing NameMapping by changing the objects to their full name, but that didn't help; it couldn't find the process. Is there any way of logging the processes that are running so that I can see if it is named something different than I expect?

This may seem like a "duh" question......but have you verified that the application is actually running on the machine when you run it from TestExecute? &nbsp;Can you go to the machine, either via remote or directly, run the TestExecute commandline and verify that it is launching your application?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Also, something to just make sure of that the application is running under the same user as the TestExecute process... it's possible that this could "hide" your application from TestExecute as well, depending upon privilege levels.
