RSAT setup, Excel error during "Generate Test Execution and Parameters files"

Posted on by Provios 65

I have created a simple recording in Task Recorder, uploaded it to the BPM library and synced the Test Case to DevOps. When I click the "New" button in RSAT to generate the files needed for running the test (and provide parameters for it) I get a weird error referring to Excel;

[RSAT] FI01 Currency test
System.Exception: The Excel file creation failed at C:\Temp\RegressionTool\14\attachments\Currency_setup_14_Base.xlsx: The message filter indicated that the application is busy. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010A (RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER)) ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The message filter indicated that the application is busy.

I am running this locally on my onebox, as Admin. What have I missed in my setup?

    These are some basic things you've probably checked, but C:\Temp\RegressionTool\14\attachments\ exists and can be written to where RSAT is running?  Also do you have excel open anywhere on the system that is running RSAT?  If excel is up and running even with another file, you might try closing and then running again.

    Yeah, the path can be written to - I have downloads in there from DevOps that RSAT created. I do not have Excel running, but I tried starting and closing it and I still get the same error - I even rebooted the VM just to be sure.

    I solved it. Turns out you have to have activated Office installation on the machine where the RSAT tool is running. The error stemmed from Excel trying to start but getting stuck in the activation dialog in the background, and that was the cause for the "application is busy" error.
