OEM Ready

TC7 rmtesttool and short-lived applications

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago too. We were talking to group of a large ISV last week and there seemed to be some confusion about TC7 (Restart Manager). If you test applications that only last for a short time (converters, command line tools that change some settings then exit, etc) the OEM Ready tool will give you this error in the test log:

 WARNING: The executable C:\Program Files\MyApplication\TheApp.EXE is NOT pinned to either the desktop or the start menu. Hence, it can be ignored.

This is expected. The OEM Ready automation kicks of your application, then starts to look for it. When it finds the process, figures out if it isi a service or a regular app, it will send it a message. If by then the process has terminated, the target is gone hence the error. You can set the result of the test to Pass. Please explain in the comment session that your app is short lived.
