In Element, After clicking Launch buttion, identify is appearing for a split of sec and Launch button is coming back instead of Identify

PS- As mentioned in videos and links, I have launched calc via application modeller not directly via windows.. I am using windows 10, BluePrism V.5.0.11.0 versionenter image description here

Answer 1

The Windows 10 calculator runs with process name win32calc which is also located under c:\windows\system32.

So when you launch the application please make you identify the applications process name and its location

Answer 2

can be two reasons 1. Either your application is not launched properly. 2. Sometimes we face problems with some versions of applications.

The best way to fix your problem is

• Edit your settings remove the application path from the navigate stage.
• Launch the application separately
• Open Navigate stage > Action > Attach
• Provide the window title within quotes (example: "Calculator")
• Click OK then run the object
• Now if you go to application modeller
• You will be able to see the identify button under the element.

Hope this will help you.

Answer 3

Windows 10 calculator is complicated case, please consider using different application in your training. For example paint is much simpler to get started.

If you really need to get that going, then you may need to launch application first, using one object, and afterwards use second object to attach and interact with it.
