greetings.
The removeItem call to the OTA library doesnt remove the QC generated first step and forces to use it. version 1.17-M2 running on XP. see description below where bug call is identified.

Variant paramVal = new Variant();

Dispatch runFactory = Dispatch.get(almConnection, "RunFactory").toDispatch();
Dispatch treeMgr = Dispatch.get(almConnection, "TreeManager").toDispatch();
Dispatch testFolder = Dispatch.call(treeMgr, "NodeByPath", ProjectPath).toDispatch();
Dispatch testFactory = Dispatch.get(testFolder, "TestFactory").toDispatch();

}
paramVal.putNull();
Dispatch stepItem=null;

// There is a bug in the jacob library which prevents the Initial step creation by QC.
// To be removed. The Variant wont cast.
// I therefore populate it otherwise create a new step item to populate
// This hackaround should be revisited to append when this is fixed. Only valid
// Since in this case QC tests only ever have one test step.

if (stepCount != 1) {
stepItem = Dispatch.call(stepFactory, "AddItem", paramVal).getDispatch();
} else {
stepItem = Dispatch.call(listOfSteps, "Item", stepCount).toDispatch();
}

for (int i = 1; i<= stepCount; i++) {
// remove any crap from previous runs
Dispatch Item = Dispatch.call (stepFactory, "Item", i).toDispatch();
Variant p = new Variant();
p.putVariant(Item);
// Dispatch.call(stepFactory, "RemoveItem", p).toDispatch(); <<<--------- bug here
