Hi,

I have problem with launch recorder at Windows Vista. I installed Test Studio on Win7 and there is no problem, but on Vista machine, I have get "Unable to launch recorder" error. I have tried almost every solution recommendation in this forum but none of them solved my problem.

Hi Levent,

If you haven't done so already, please configure your browser according this instruction. And perform the steps outlined in our troubleshooting guide here. In just about every case, one of those suggestions resolves this issue.

If you are still unable to launch the recorder, try to disable the UAC (User Account Control). Here's an article describing how to do that in Vista.

Hi Levent,

Did you restart the machine after disabling the UAC. If not, please do that and try to record again.

Also, there may be a toolbar interfering. Try to disable all IE Toolbars(if you have any) and see if this helps.

If you are running AntiVirus software on your machine, you can try to disable it. We have one report that McAfee Antivirus Enterprise edition was blocking our hook into the browser. That customer was finally able to get it resolved by working with McAfee directly to tweak the settings in their anti-virus product to our hook was no longer blocked.

Kind regards,
Plamen

Hi Levent,

At this point, I think the only option we have left is for us to look at the issue directly on your machine via screensharing. We use GoToMeeting for this purpose. Please go ahead and suggest a time/date and I'll send you a meeting request. Keep in mind that I'm in Sofia, Bulgaria, which is UTC +3:00.

Hi Plemen,
This is ok for us. GoToMeeting  sometimes does not run in our network because of websense setup, I will fix the issue and then we can arrange the GoToMeeting  meeting.

Hi Levent,

To document the outcome of our meeting:
1. You demonstrated that Test Studio is unable to launch the recorder on you Vista VM. We were unable to resolve the issue during the GoToMeeting. In order to resolve this, we'll need a VM image that uses the same version of Vista and reproduces the recording problem.

To provide us with a copy of the VM image, you can file a support ticket(which is confidential unlike this forum thread) and I'll send you the credentials for our FTP server.

2.For the second problem where the browser freezes during playback, you'll ask for permission to provide us with access to your application, so that our software developers can find the cause of problem and fix it. You can provide this information in a new support ticket (which is confidential).

Thanks for providing the information we need to assist you.

All the best,
Plamen

Hi Plamen,

I have talked with my team leader, but he told that there is no possibility to open our servers or give VM image. However, He told that we can provide access with the same method with meeting (because it should be under my inspection for the NATO rules). As well as we can provide our developers in meeting to work with and understanding the problem.

Is that suitable to you?

Hello Levent,

I'm afraid another online meeting won't be helpful. What we need is a local repro of the issue happening within our own source code debugging environment. This is not possible to do via an online screen sharing meeting. We are willing to sign an NDA if necessary. Also keep in mind we're automatically under non-disclosure that is written into the Test Studio EULA.

Kind regards,
Plamen

Hi Levent,

Ok, we'll stand by for your decision.

In the meantime, during the meeting I noticed that you are using an older version of Test Studio. If I remember correctly it was v.2012.1.411. Our current version is 2012.1.528. Please go ahead and upgrade to our latest release, you can download it from your Telerik account here: Public URL. Small chance to fix the issue but you should give it a try.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi guys,

I have the same issue. I tried to run tests on new environment but they do not work.
1. I installed silverligt SDK
2. Configured internet explorer according to:
   http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/configure-your-browser/internet-explorer.aspx
3. Checked does my user account have administrator permission? Yes, it has.
4. Also tried to run "Test Studio" with "Run as administrator". Result is the same
5. Checked which version of telerick test studion is used? The latest one (2012.1.528)

Hi,

Here - I found step Install .NET 3.5.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
It was the latest step which i made. I supose it can be only step which is required to fix the issue.
So what you can try is displayed on this image

Hello Anatoliy,

I am very glad to hear you managed to resolve this problem. Unfortunately, this solution only works for Windows Server 2008 machines.

The problem Levent is experiencing is a lot more complicated and a local repro is neccessary. That's why we need a VM image of a machine that has this issue, so we can get our developers involved and fix it ASAP.

Hi Plamen,



Our administration did not give permission to open our code to your developers. I tried our application work with chrome browser and while navigating I was able to go debuging mode with visual studio and got the exception about our freezing problem. I found this is about connecting silverlight but cannot find so much details. We have also another friendly project that uses nearly same UI and telerik objects with our project and test studio works well on that project. However our project still freezing at first navigate to step. The fallowing details are the exceprion that I mention I got from visual studio debuging. May be this will help to understand where the problem is.

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException was unhandled

Hello Levent,

I've forwarded the exception details to our developers and I'm waiting to hear their opinion on this. In the meantime, we released Test Studio 2012.R2 last week(version 2012.2.920). It contains hundreds of bug fixes and optimizations since our 2012.1.528 release. I'd appreciate it if you could download it and try this new version. It is available in your Telerik account here: Public URL. 

All the best,

Hello Levent,

Unfortunately this error is not giving us enough information on what is causing the problem. It seems that something is preventing us to inject our hooks into your Silverlight application. Please let us know if the issue persists with the new release. If you are still experiencing the issue, I'll talk with my managers to discuss and decide how to proceed further.
