Hello ravi,

From the information you sent I don't see where you call the Manager.Start() method. If you have not called the Start method please do so before calling the LaunchNewBrowser(),  also it is better to create the Manager instance with default configuration this way the TimeOuts and other values will be automatically set:

var manager = new Manager(new Settings());

All the best,

Hi Nikolai,

Thanks for the quick reply. It is working now after adding Manager.start() method.

I am having the exact same problem, a TimeoutException on Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer).  However, in my case, doing a Manager.Start() after constructing a Manager object does not fix it.

Code:

        [TestMethod]

        public void TelerikSilverlightPOC()

        {

            Manager man = new Manager(new ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Settings());

            man.Start();

            man.Settings.ExecutionDelay = 10;

            man.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

        }

Hello Chad,

Can you please review this article on how to configure your IE browser. 
In case your OS is Windows Server 2003/2008 you will need additional configuration you can find here.
Also please make sure you are using account that has Administrative privileges on your machine. 

Best wishes,
