Sys.Process("msiexec") and Sys.Process("msiexec", 2)

Sometimes the InstallShield Wizard is recognized by TestComplete as Sys.Process("msiexec"), and other times as Sys.Process("msiexec", 2). All my code fails if I code for one and it turns out to be the other. Any suggestions?

    Hi Sal,


     


    It's normal that you may see several msiexec processes - this is one of  InstallShield Wizard's features. Please refer to this thread. It contains some tips that will help you create the test.

    Its the process number. You have to look the process list on OS. When tested app starts, must have one active process for the same app on process list.

    I usually close all running instances of tested application before tests beginnig, to avoid this problem.
