  I’m trying to evaluate Zaptest for our team but when I do the application(“…”).Launch passing the path to the EXE it doesn’t start it. The script thinks it’s started it but the window never shows and we cannot find any of the other objects.

  here is the example script that I have:

  Application(“CefSharpWinForms”).Launch “C:Usersdan.hoegerDownloadsCefSharp.MinimalExample-masterCefSharp.MinimalExample.WinFormsbinx64DebugCefSharp.MinimalExample.WinForms.exe”, “”, True

  If(Application(“CefSharpWinForms”).View(“WinForm”).Object(“Google Search”).Object(“Search”).Exist) then
  Application(“CefSharpWinForms”).View(“WinForm”).Object(“oak”).Object(“SearchTextBox”).Type “zaptest”
  Application(“CefSharpWinForms”).View(“WinForm”).Object(“Google Search”).Object(“Search”).Click
  end if

  Application(“CefSharpWinForms”).Close

  Hello Dan, thanks for using ZAPTEST.

  Are you using user with privileges to run this application? Can you launch ZAPTEST as administrator and then try to execute same part of script?

  Thanks,
  ZAPTEST Team.

  Dan just for the troubleshoot purposes – can you try to “launch” some basic Windows application from System32 folder. For example Notepad or Command Prompt(cmd)?

  no trouble launching notepad.exe at all. why would it have trouble launching this particular windows application?

  OK Dan seems like it is your application specific issue.
  We have been seen similar issue, please refer topic below:
