|
I was debugging a Ranorex test application using an account with normal user (i.e. non-admin) privilege on an XP Service Pack 2 virtual machine, when the app suddenly stopped and displayed a messagebox stating "The current user has insufficient access privileges. Please run Ranorex with Admin priveleges." This is a question that I probably already know the answer to, but I'll ask it anyway. Is there any way to get around the requirement that Ranorex apps need to run on an account with Admin priviledge? This would seem to be important as most testing organizations would want to ensure that their apps run properly under non-priveledged user accounts (especially with Vista).
Thanks,
Tim |

Tim,
Using Ranorex with non-admin accounts does work, but unfortunately not in the trial version.

We have a registered version now, and while I didn't encounter this issue yet debugging today, I did encounter it when I tried to run the recorder on a non-priveleged account. So it would seem like it isn't an issue with the trial version.

You are right, that's a bug in the RanorexRecorder licensing.
We fixed this bug in the Ranorex version that is currently available at:

I tried it, but it doesn't work.
The newly compiled exe ( with the dlls of version 1.5) shows the same message.. |

After installing Ranorex 1.5, did you register the new version using the RanorexRegister.exe? If not, please do so!

Can you please give us more detailed information.
How can we reproduce this problem? What are the steps we need?
Does everything work OK if you do the same with an admin account?

Hi, yes it works with admin rights.
Following a little code snipplet, which only works with admin rights:
Code: click into code to enlarge
control = parent.FindControlName("extendedGrid");
control.Focus();
Logger.Info("User", "Get the accessibility element of the control.");
controlElement = control.Element;
Logger.Info("User", "Find child element in control by name={0}", args[0]);
element = controlElement.FindChildValue(args[0], SearchMatchMode.MatchExact);

Dab,
What kind of application are you automating (MFC, .NET, WPF) ?
Is the application running under the same user account as your test script ?
In the code sample you posted, where and what exactly is the difference between admin and non-admin?

Hi Michael
I'm automating a .Net app.
The app is running under the same user account.
I don't know the difference. If the user has admin rights, everything is ok. If not, ranorex throws the dialog and stops working. I think the find.. functions are responsible for this behaviour. |

Hi,
I tried the same code you posted as a non admin user, but it worked for me with the sample VS2005Application.exe:
Code: click into code to enlarge
Form form = Application.FindFormTitle("RanorexTestedApp");
form.Activate();
Control control = form.FindControlName("checkedListBox1");
control.Focus();
Mouse.ClickControl(control);
controlElement = control.Element;
Element element = controlElement.FindChildValue("False", SearchMatchMode.MatchExact);
Mouse.ClickElement(element);
Please try this code with VS2005Application.exe and inform us about the results.
