Thanks in advance.

@Rawan.md

Please start process activity to start the hb_System.exe and then use it for further processing

Your exe goes in the first field and any optional arguments can be passed in the second

cheers

Hello @Rawan.md
If Use Application is not working try with StartProcess activity and open the application. Then you can use the normal Ui based automation. but a few things you need to keep in mind. For that check the below doc.

Thanks

hi @Rahul_Unnikrishnan

I already tried it but also didnt work …

thanks for your helping…

hi @Anil_G

it worked but it make things weird I cant see the login process( the login’s window) in the ui automation its directly goes to the main window !!!

thanks

@Rawan.md

but with other activities you are not even able to open…generally for starting process we use this and then use application browser. And if you are seeing the mail window directly then see if it already logged in then you should be good

You can try one more thing in use browser properties fice the exe files and try if you are able open from there and if that helps

Cheers

Thanks @Anil_G for your helping…
