By default when you can able execute QTP scripts on a Local Machine. Automation Object Model is providing a facility to execute QTP scripts on a Remote Machine.
When you use CreateObject("QuickTest.Application"), it is giving permissions to execute scripts in local machine’s QTP.
To execute scripts in Remote Machine use
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application", "Remote Machine Name")
Before using this statement ensure that the Distributed COM (DCOM) Configuration Properties of the remote computer are set to allow you to run QuickTest Professional Automation from your computer.

Start--> Run. The Run dialog box opens.
- Enter DCOMCNFG and click OK. The Distributed COM Configuration Properties dialog box or the Component Services window opens (depending on your operating system) and displays the list of COM applications available on the computer.
- Select QuickTest Professional Automation from the list and open the Properties dialog box for the application. (Click the Properties button or right-click and choose Properties, depending on your operating system.)

ReplyDeleteSet QtpApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application","hyd-rampavan")
QtpApp.Launch
QtpApp.Visible = True
QtpApp.Options.Run.RunMode="Fast"
QtpApp.Open "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
I get an error as:

Please let me know where is the problem in the above script and how to resolve this?
