Hello,

Microsoft added a lot of new security features in Windows 8. These features make it more difficult to access apps for Ranorex. In particular, metro apps are a bit tricky to work with.

Please take a look at our section 'General Troubleshooting' in our User Guide in order to solve your issue. Please let me know if it works.

Hi Markus,

I also not found "UiaLauncher32.exe",
and I don't have this function "Ranorex.Core.Util.RestartWithUiAccess()",
It's look like only support Ranorex version 4.0?
My version is version 3.3.3.

Best Regards,
Robert Chen.

Hello,

The UiaLauncher is not available in 3.3.3. You have to install Ranorex 4.0 to use the UiaLauncher.
