#7 Quickfocus does not work on my Vista machine
I have IEunit installed ("only for me") on my Vista box (latest patches). Whenever I run Quickfocus, windows tells me that the app stopped working.
I tried it on my Laptop running XP SP2 with .Net SDK 2.0 and .Net SDK 3.0 installed. It does not work here either. I dont know whether this is due to the presence of the .net3.0 sdk or some other reason. But I simply cannot get it working. Is it due to IE7 maybe (got it on both machines)? Has anyone else experienced the same problem?
would love to see a fix for this.

Have you tried to start QuickFocus by clicking the QuickFocus.exe file in
the %IEUNIT_HOME%bin directory? Maybe the desktop link is broken on Vista.
Could you try to run QuickFocus with the Administrator's right?
IeUnit has been tested extensively on XP SP2 with .NET SDK 2.0. But I am
not sure whether it works with .NET SDK 3.0 installed. Also, The latest version,
IeUnit 2.3.240, has been tested against IE 7.0. Does QuickFocus show the
same sympton on XP as on Vista?
Have you tried to run the IeUnit Demo test suites on Vista? The test suite
can be started through the OS start menu Programs>IeUnit>Run IeUnit Demo.

Hi
1. I get the exact same results on Vista as on XP
2. IEunit demo works
3. the desctop link is not broken (I can see the quickfocus.exe coming up quickly in the task monitor)
4. yes, I started quickfocus directly from the IEunit home dir and from the command line
5. yes, I started quickfocus as administrator (in fact on XP I am admin)
6. I uninstalled .net SDK 3.0 but that did not help either.
I am running out of clues. Unfortunately I dont have VS2005 so I cant really see whats going wrong.

The configuration file of QuickFocus might be broken.
Try to remove the configuration %IEUNIT_HOME%bin\QuickFocus.xml, then
re-start QuickFocus.

Can you post the exact error message reported by OS when
you tried to start QuickFocus? What version of IeUnit have you
installed? Is the size of QuickFocus.exe exactly 172,032 bytes?
If your IeUnit version is not 2.3.240 or higher, I would suggest to
try to download and install the latest version of IeUnit.
Were you able to run any other .NET 2.0 applications? You can try to
install and run the VisuMap program (from visumap.net) if you don't
have .NET 2.0 application on your system.

I downloaded IeUnit just last night again. Its Version 2.3.240. However, windows reports (143.360 bytes). I also installed IeUnit on yet another machine that did not have the .net sdk installed (upon installation I downloaded the .net 2.0 runtime directly from Microsoft). It did not work either on that machine (XP SP2).
I can run other .NET 2.0 apps. I have Paint.Net running just fine.
The error message I get is not really telling much. I attached it anyway.

I installed it on a 4th machine which had Visual Studio 2005 installed. On that machine it works! However, with a success rate of 25% (and the requirement to install VS).

Somebody else has encountered a similar issue.
The following were my response to this problem:
--------------
This seems to be tough problem. I have been using QuickFocus
on Windows XP+SP2 most of the time, but never encountered this
problem. I suspect that there is some incompatibility between
QuickFocus and certain components on your machine.
Since QuickFocus is open sourced, I'd suggest you to
debug this issue youself on that machine. To simplify the
process I have packaged the whole IeUnit source code
as a single zip file. The following are suggested steps
to debug QuickFocus:
1. Download and install Visual Studio C# Express from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ (it is free).
Skip this step if you already have Visual Studio
installed on that machine.
2. Download and unzip IeUnitSrc.zip from
http://www.visumap.net/index.aspx?p=Resources&q=WebTesting.
3. Click on the IeUnit.sln file to start IeUnit project
with Visual Studio. Then, press F5 key to start
QuickFocus under debugger.
The zip file contains a debuggable executable QuickFocus.exe.
If you don't feel confortable to debug C# program, you
can try to start the debugable QuickFocus.exe from the zip
file. If the program shows more meaningful
message, please post them to this place. I might be
in better position to solve this issue.
