I have a VB 6.0 application that has an web browser control to load PDF file. I get the "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again.
Please any one help me to overcome the problem.
I'm not 100% aware of your current web browser control (you don't say which web browser it regards). webbrowswer1 is IE I guess?
If I was You I would have tried a really simple solution first (as mentioned in a link I provided you with) before digging too deep:
Issue
When you try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer, you see the error
message, "There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit
Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." When you click OK to the error,
the PDF opens outside the browser.
Solution
Create a transform and redeploy Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Start the Adobe Customization wizard 8 or the Adobe Customization
wizard 9 depending on the software version you are installing. Open
your previously created .mst file. Under Installation Options, select
"Installer will decide which product will be the default." Save the
transform. Redeploy Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Source: Error viewing PDF in browser

I'm new to Ruby-Watir automation. I want to save a file, after clicking on "Download Report" link available on the web page(Opened in IE-11). It's giving me a pop-up to save the file at bottom of the browser.
enter image description here
Can anyone please help me with Ruby-Watir code to handle such popup in Internet Explorer 11? Kindly let me know if any other details required.
The simple answer is that it isn't possible with Selenium and Internet Explorer, without mucking with the registry or using AutoIT. Downloading with IE requires interaction with the operating system, which is beyond Selenium's capabilities.
Also, here's an article about why you probably actually don't need to test downloads, regardless.
I'm using MooTools as JS-Framework.
When a user clicks the "Show Report"-Button on my website I'm starting Request.HTML to retrieve the path of the requested report.
If the report does not exists yet, its been created on the server (a waiting popup is shown to the user). The report file is saved to a special path on the server and this path is returned to the browser.
After I got the path to the Report-File - the Report can reach about 5 to 8MB - I want to show the user a "Download-ProgressBar" while starting a new Request.HTML to retrieve the big report file.
Everthing until this point works fine. I got the ProgressBar filling up, after its finished I got my big file.
But my problem is now, how I can start something like "Open File" or "Save File As" from JavaScript.
I got the freaking file downloaded and shown in the console but now I want the user to save this file somewhere or to open it directly...
Kind Regard.
Why don't just show a link to that file so that it opens in a new page?
That way one can open in a new window and save from the browser's menu (or use the right click>save to menu).
Since you already have your file serialized most browsers nowadays supports the data uri scheme so if this fine to support a limited subset of browsers you can do
window.open(fileToSave, '_blank');
notably old version of IE don't support all kind of files using data-uri so it will not work for html.
There are some File API in newer browser too, and there are some other solutions involving flash but historically the right way to do this is to navigate to a server page which returns an header
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=yourfilename.html
that will work in any browser (I used this a lot in IE6 with no particular problem).
I need to download a file from application in my selenium RC test.
When i click on the link/button to save a file, first i get a pop up which asks me to either open or save the file, when i select 'Save' and click 'OK' then i get one more pop up asking me to provide the path where file is to be saved and file name also.
I goggled and found that this could be done via AutoIT but i am facing some problems while doing that.
so could some one please provide me the .exe file for file_download in Firefox and also where i can mention the path to save that file too.
and also if you could provide me what exactly the code, i need to write in my test case.
Please let me know how to handle this.
You can achieve that without using autoit also. follow below steps.
Create new firefox profile.
Change the preferences in that profile manually before starting the automation with that profile. (Change the settings like below)
Now start the automation using that profile so that files will be downloaded to default location.
Starting selenium server using specfic profile
java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\234saddsf.customProfile"
I found this link: http://qtp-help.blogspot.com/2009/07/selenium-handle-dialogs.html
Unfortunately it is for the old style dialog boxes that do not have the open vs save radio buttons. I'm searching for a solution to this part of the problem.
I have recently used an icon file received from our marketing team. The icon file when opened in resource editor (Visual Studio 2008) looks like this.
The same file when opened-and-saved in IcoFX appears correctly in resource editor.
My marketing team uses some tools (Picture2Icon ) in Mac and produces the icon file which appears to be corrupt or not fully correct. The same file saved by IcoFx seems to be correct. What is causing the ICOFX out to be correct?
The result is the exe shows bad icons. The exact case where the image is bad is not clear- It is reported in case where color quality is set to be 'medium' (windows XP). It is worse when executable is "selected" in windows explorer.
Here is one icon that shows problem: https://github.com/jayanmn/icontest/blob/master/icontest.ico
Full sample code to create exe is at https://github.com/jayanmn/icontest/
So question is given an ico file, how can I ensure that it works fine on WindowsXP, Windows Vista and Windows7?
I took a good look at your icontest.ico file provided from the GitHub website and discovered that the solution is an easy fix.
First, let me illustrate the problem as I see it on a Windows XP 32bit System using the freeware IrfanView software which is an excellent image viewer for this task.
Here is a composite shot I made illustrating the error for 5 of 6 layers as seen using IrfanView:
To fix the above icontest.ico file, one would think frames 1,2,3,4 and 6 are bad. But the opposite is true! It turns out that frame 5 is the culprit!.
Specifically, frame 5 has compression set on this frame which is causing the issue.
The actual fix that's required is to merely re-save the icontest.ico file without compressing that layer. For this task, the freeware GIMP application which is an excellent image editor is perfect for this task.
Just re-save the icon file with GIMP but remove the compression for the 5th layer as shown below:
The final result is a properly rendered icontestResaved.ico as seen in IrfanView (Tip: To view frames of an icon file in IrfanView, use the Red Arrows that's next to the frame number, i.e. 1/6):
The best way to ensure that the file works in different Windows Operating System's is to actually have a machine available, as the rendering engine is unique and emulators might not work as intended.
For the curious: Setting all layers to be compressed in GIMP resulted in a icon that was not viewable in Windows Explorer.
Tip: To view the reference images above at original size, right mouse-click and choose View Image.
Status Update: Consider installing Axialis IconWorkshop™ Lite Version 6.3.1.1 to handle all your icon development workflow needs. It's a free Visual Studio 2008 Plugin provided by Axialis themselves!
I need a tool to capture and attach screenshots in TFS team web access. Instead of having some thrid party tool that captures and saves images on disk and then you have to attach that image to a bug like bugshooting. I want something integrated within TFS.
In VS11 it is possible to copy and paste your screen shots in the description field of the work item. You can check out the VS11 Beta version yourself.
There's nothing integrated in VS, but there are a couple of easy options:
use the standard Windows screenshot function. Alt-PrtScrn will capture the current window, and then you can paste into your work item's Attachments pane. It'll create a generic filename and attach as a PNG.
if you're using Win7, try the "Snipping tool" (just press Start and type "snip" to find it). That will capture a specified area and can then copy it to the clipboard or save to a file. If you copy & paste you still have the problem of generic filenames, though, so personally I still tend to save it myself.
As #Hofman said, you can do it with VS 11 beta, so you can use MS Paint or even SnagIt, for how to do it just see the following link:
http://mohamedradwan.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/new-enhancement-in-mtm-11-preview/
You may want to check the Capture Custom Control - you can use it to embed a "Capture" button in your work items. It automatically attaches the screenshot to your work item.
Check it out at http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Screenshot%20controls&ProjectName=witcustomcontrols
there are a very powerful tool which comes with Windows Server 2008 (Actually I'm not sure if it comes with windows 8 or 7)
never-mine.., the tool called "Record Steps To Reproduce the Problems" , this tool built for Taking screenshots of doing any thing in your machine step by step... WOW
You just need to open the start panel and then write "record steps to reproduce a problem". starting record, and make you job that you want, then when you finish stop recording and save the zip file in your machine.
the zip file will expose a word document contains every single click that you make and every page you've open with some description.
