Hi,
I am currently writing tests in VS2012 Ultimate SP1 and Windows 8 Pro x64. UAC is at the lowest level. (I have not manually edited the registry to drop it to fully off {this borks Metro/ModernUI applications}). My account is an administrator on the machine also. All of the tests are purely code using MSTest for the unit test attributes. If I have Visual Studio or a command prompt elevated as an administrator all of the tests execute fine. If they are not then the browser will open and nothing happens.
If I use the standalone Test Studio and create a test via the GUI and launch it from there it will work. I did not elevate the standalone TS when I did this so there must be some way to allow VS and CMD to execute the tests properly without being elevated. I read the entry http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/command-line-test-execution/mstest.aspx and watched the corresponding video but neither were helpful. The screenshots are VS2010 specific and some features have been removed in VS2012.
Is there anyway to run the tests without requiring admin elevation in Windows 8 with VS2012? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Hopefully I am just doing something wrong or missing some setting and this isn't a limitation of TS.
Thanks
