I have 2 remote windows machines that I would like to run tests on. I have installed Firefox on one and Chrome on the other. I also uninstalled IE on those machines as the Firefox and Chrome would be the default browser. When I check the status of the machines in the Test Studio Ultimate in the Scheduling section of the ribbon, it shows Firefox and IE (or Chrome and IE) installed. How do I get the Test Studio real-time execution agents to stop reporting that IE is on the machines. This affects running lists remotely as I will get the following error:
4/20/2015 1:46:36 PM' - System.ApplicationException: Exception thrown attempting to launch Internet Explorer. Please make sure Internet Explorer is properly installed and you are able to launch it. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

I guess this is expected behavior since the IE browser cannot be uninstalled completely from the Windows OS. It can be only downgraded to the default version that is coming with the Windows version.

In the test properties of a specific test you can justify with which browser to run the test in question (as shown in the screnshot). This will override the test list settings.
Would that be sufficient?

Thank you for the update.
As I already noticed you cannot completely remove IE from the OS. So that is why it is shown as active browser. The other browsers should work in the way you are describing.
