So I am trying to run WinRunner on Windows 7.
And I have WinRunner installed and my addins for my "legacy" apps.
WinRunner executes and performs GUI tasks.
However, certain tsl commands cause Windows 7 to display a blue screen of death (very briefly) and then restart. The BSD is too quick to read properly but it is something about shutting down to prevent damage.
I have read this thread on "Text recognition on Windows Vista with WinRunner 9"
and looked at the KM195541 HP KB article about it.
And I think the issue is similar to the one described in the KM195541 article. Because it is the _get_text functions that cause the issue. Things like obj_get_text and win_get_text cause it. ( Interestingly edit_get_text does not).
Unfortunately I still get the issue when data execution prevention is turned off (wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy reports zero = AlwaysOff DEP is not enabled for any processes)
I am now trying to figure out how much of the functionality of my scripts I can work around the issue by avoiding calls to obj_get_text and win_get_text - as this is the only solution offered by the KM195541 article.
Any gurus with any brilliant ideas about how to stop the BSD ?

PS Yes I know - WinRunner is not supported any more.
But we run an application that uses Oracle Forms 6 Release 6.0.8.13 for Windows (and not the Forms EWT which are Java based forms) - so we use WinRunners Oracle Developer (Oracle Applications) addin.
We also run an application based on Centura/Gupta and we thus use WinRunners Centura addin.
There is no Centura or Oracle Developer addins for QTP.
Hence the desire to continue to run WinRunner.

The application log should have the detailed exception error, have you checked that? Can you post it here if there is any relevant information?
Cheers~

"The application log should have the detailed exception error"
Where does one find this log?

I found the application log.
I am having trouble seeing anything relevant.
The application I had under test was an Oracle forms 6 application that runs as ifrun60.EXE and I see a report for it crashing.
The weird thing is that this appears in the log at a time after the machine was rebooted. I guess this may be normal behaivour for the reporting - it cant report at the time of the crash it reports after it comes back up ??. Or I am just missing something

Hi ttguy,
I am using Winrunner 9.2 to automate a Centura application. Winrunner is not able to recognize some of the Centura controls.
For eg- I have a table/grid in my application, When I have tried to learn/Spy it, WR recognized it as an "object". Then I tried the Virtual Object Wizard to define it as a table. But it didn't work. Since the columns of the table are not even, it prompted me a error message.
Can you please advice, how can I make WR to recognize these kinda centura controls?
Thanks in Advance,
~Emmdee
P.S.
I have the WR: Centura Add-in installed in my system.

Windows 7 is not a supported OS for WR. You are on your own.

Julia, this thread is almost a year old, and looking at the OP's other activity, it appears that he has moved to QTP. Given my response (also almost a year old), I suggest you do the same.

No. We went to QTP. Pain in the arse - massive re-write. And no centura addin for QTP means I have to use optical character recognision and native windows objects. But that is what happens when your AUT does not move with the times I guess.
