CodedUI test script not executing from virtual machine windows 7 - windows-7

I am using Windows 7 in vmware fusion on my mac.
I am using vs 2012 in Win7 VM and am able to record scripts.
When I try to execute it doesnot reply. (write click on test method -> Run or from Test Explorer).
It used to work perfectly find on Win7VM on Windows host, but facing issue on vm hosted in Mac.
Is anyone facing similar issue. Any Solution ?

We manage to run the codedUI test cases in windows hyper-V with window 7 and 8 VMs it works fine. I never tried it in mac but you may try to run in minimized mode by and giving the active screen to virtual machine or login to your VM from another pc and try. This Link will help with that approach.

Docker on a Server 2016 Virtual Machine

I've already tried running Docker on a Windows 10 Virtual Machine without any success. I understand why, so I've given up trying to enable this. However, it's got me thinking about Windows Server 2016. As I understand it, Windows Server 2016 has docker included as a component/service, instead of an 'Add On' as it is in Windows 10. Are there any reasons why a Microsoft Server 2016 Virtual Machine would not support docker? This is more for convenience than anything else. Dual-booting with windows 10 isn't a major issue and we've done that, but it does mean in certain circumstances I have to reboot to windows 8 for certain organisation-specific content that I can't access in Windows 10.

Windows Phone 8 SDK Xde emulator runs really slow and Crashes

when you try and run the emulator it will load, then say windows phone OS is starting up, then sit there about 3-5 mins and fail.
Im Running Visual Studio Express 2012 for WP on Lenovo N586 64-bit I've upgraded to windows 8 pro
lemme run down the list of what Ive tried...all are listed here
yes hardware supports hyper-v virtualiztion amd a6-4400m
I'm slat Capable theres a program you can use to test this.
Hyper-v is Installed and running fine
running windows 8 pro I had to upgrade.
Im 64 bit
Im not running any other virtualization software
Ive run XDEcleanup.exe and ran VS2012 as administrator no luck
no im not running on a virtual machine.
and just for fun I've uninstalled the sdk and re installed it
any idea?
For what you're describing, its looks like the VS is trying to create the virtual switch, but failed. To resolve this, go to Hyper-V's Virtual Switch Manager, on the left side of the window, and be sure that you have one virtual switch for every network card you have, usually you must have 3: 1 for the wireless, 1 for the LAN and 1 for internal. If your don't have the wireless or the LAN, create them.

Silverlight app remote debugging via msvsmon.exe

I have little problem with debugging silverlight app on a remote machine. I launched msvsmon.exe, added permissions, added my account to administrators group. But when I connect, I can't debug silverlight process, it's type is determined as native (please see this screenshot)
On local machine it works perfectly, I can attach to any silverlight process, and I want to do the same thing on a remote machine.
Also on the remote machine is installed XP Service Pack 3 x86, on my machine I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I use VS 2010 and it's launched as administrator.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Window hook is not working in Windows 7 but in Windows xp

We are migrating our applications from windows xp to windows 7. One of the application is window and mouse hook. same code is working fine in windows xp but it is not working in windows 7 target machine(windows 7 installed with our own software platform).
One important thing is its working fine in my personal laptop which is having windows 7 os
i dont know what is happening...
please help me to resolve this...
There are increased security features in Windows 7, and that's probably what you're running into. Try running your app as administrator on your target machine (right click, run as admin).
I haven't tried such a hook in Win7 myself, but I saw this happen from XP to a Vista box.
I have found the answer. actually our application does hook every process we create. i have created 32bit dll. target machine is 64 bit so every process is 64bit right. so it tried to load my hook dll(32bit) into 64bit processes. we cannot load 32bit dll into 64bit exe...... :)

Run WinPhone7 Emulator on Windows7 under VirtualBox

My main OS is Windows XP. I install VirtualBox and now have Windows 7 under VirtualBox. I install WinPhone7 Emulator and try run it. But all that I can see is window of emulator with text "Windows Emulator is doing a complete OS boot...". I waited a very long time. I tried to reboot, reinstall the Windows7 and many more. Result of my attempts is zero. It is possible run WinPhone7 Emulator under Virtual Box? What I can do for work with WinPhone7 Emulator without switch main OS?
The emulator doesn't support running under a VM.
Setup and System Requirements for Windows Phone Emulator
The emulator is a VM itself which is partly what makes this unsupported.
Some people have had varying results running under unsupported environments such as XP, VMWare, Bootcamp... but as yet I've not seen anything posted for the VM you mention.
You have a step by step procedure here: Windows Phone 8 SDK on a Virtual Machine with Working Emulator
It uses VMWare but it does allows you to run the Windows Phone 8 emulator in a VM.
I've been using this for a few days with good results. I dont have a Windows Phone 8 device yet, so I didn't tried to deploy but its good enough to start playing with it.
