Cannot evaluate Task exe with CI automation tool chains

[GaryM]

Hi,

Continuous Integration automated tool chains including Hudson, Jenkins, CruiseControl, etc.. execute build and test commands though a windows service. Since Vista, Microsoft has implemented a Desktop Isolation strategy to prevent abhorrent applications and other malware from gaining access to the active Desktop. This means that GUI applications executing via automated CI tools chains do not present any GUI components to the user as with previous versions of windows.

The eval copy of Automation Anywhere task executable presents a dialogbox with a an evaluation software message. The dialog box requires user intervention to proceed with the test.

Executing a AA evaluation test via a CI automation framework leaves the evaluation message dialog box in a hidden, inaccessible Desktop where the OK of the evaluation message dialog box cannot be clicked, causing the test to hang.

Because tethys solutions engages with a evaluation message dialog box practice, we have no way to evaluate Automation Anywhere in an automated CI environment.
