Thanks so much for your response!
Well unfortunately that works! Just opening QTP as admin (and having QTP open the browser) was not enough - I also had to manually open the browser as admin too.
I say unfortunately because we HAVE to be able to open our browser directly from QTP, which we have up to now been doing using the SystemUtil.Run method, because we have to enter credentials (UserName/Password) automatically from parameters that are passed to the test. (We force the credentials challenge by setting our local Intranet Options, Security settings to custom--> prompt for user name and password). We need to do this because different users have different permissions and a large part of our testing is making sure the appropriate users can only see the records that they own.
SOoooo....do you know of a way to open a browser "As Admin" directly from QTP?
We have no problem testing as described above, on Windows XP and we also had no problem even on our 32-bit Windows 7 machine - UNTIL TODAY. BUT TODAY (or perhaps last night), something changed on that Windows 7 machine so that now it too can't recognize the browser for our existing tests - QTP thinks the browser is a window class.....the same as it has been doing for our new (64-bit) Windows machine. This is just too confusing.
But at least if we had a way to open a browser as admin directly from QTP, or if there is some other workaround for this problem, we could proceed. Any ideas on this?
