Catastrophic errors after upgrading to 2014.2.x

[Daan Jonkers]

Hi there,

I recently upgraded to version 2014.2.x of the test framework and since then receiving lots of catastrophic errors while testing a Silverlight application. Downgrading back to the last 2013 version made it all work again. But that version doesn't work under Windows 2012.


Any idea what I should do?

Here are two of the exception messages:

Exception 1:

{"Exception thrown during the wait for a condition. Error: Unexpected error while waiting on condition.
