Applies to TestComplete 15.68, last modified on October 16, 2024

Some .NET applications must have full trust permissions on the computer in order for you to test them with TestComplete. Specifically, this applies to .NET applications that:

  • use .NET Framework 2 - 3.5,

  • run from a network share,

    -- or --

    run from a web server using Internet Explorer and no-touch deployment.

Note: This does not apply to applications that use .NET Framework v. 4.0 and later.

To set a .NET application’s trust level, you can use the .NET Framework Configuration tool (Mscorcfg.msc) which is installed with .NET Framework 2.0 SDK. The SDK can be obtained from Microsoft Download Center:
