Squish 7.0.1 is missing the startwinaut.exe binary


The Squish binary startwinaut.exe appears to be missing from a clean installation.

I'm trying to start an AUT using Squish 7.0.1 and the startApplication("msiexec /i \"C:\\myinstaller.msi\"") Ruby function call. The call fails with an error "An error occurred while starting the AUT."

I checked to be sure that msiexec was a registered AUT, in the C:\Windows\System32 directory, which it was.

Verbose logs showed that it was unable to find C:\squish\bin\startwinaut.exe. I can find documentation on startwinaut, but I can't find the binary anywhere in the installation.

I was able to find an older 6.3.2 version of Squish, and it had the startwinaut.exe binary.

Where is startwinaut.exe in Squish 7? Do I need to procure an extension pack from somewhere, or somehow enable additional features in the installation?


Solution

  • There are various Squish editions. startwinaut.exe is only in "Squish for Windows" and "Squish for Java" (on Windows).
