Hi,

Yes, it is because you are using different OS. It is the same with our sample "Calculator". This sample is only available for WinXP, because the calculator in Windows 7 is completely different. To overcome your issue, you can try to adapt your RxPath for the elements that the RxPath is working for both OS. Means, just find attributes which are available on WinXP and Win7.

This is one reason why I forgo the repo and search for objects/elements I want to work with during runtime. I can move to any OS I want and even work with many different versions of my AUT without missing a beat since I am not relying on pre-recorded paths to an object.

Just food for thought...
If this or any response has helped you, please reply to the thread stating that it worked so other people with a similar issue will know how you fixed your issue!
