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?

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

  • The downloads page had about 50 versions on it. After searching through it, I found the editions to which you refer, and they do indeed contain the `startwinaut.exe` binary. – the_storyteller Dec 28 '22 at 16:39
