I just took a look at the GUI Runner for the first time today. I expected to be able to set user and project variables via the GUI. It looks that isn't possible. So... 1) Did I overlook that functionality? 2) I don't see anything that leads me to believe that there is a "preferred" way to get values to those variables. What do most people use? INI files? ---

Automise Runner is really just designed to allow a user to run a pre-defined script. I guess if you need to set different variables for different users you could load them from an ini file, or you can prompt for variables. ---

I have finally gotten around to trying to get one of my Automise 4 projects to run on a different computer using the GUI runtime. I am able to load the project, but none of the action steps are loaded. I just get a bunch of errors. A long list of the same error: [code]WARNING : An unknown custom action package is not loaded and is referenced by this project.(For a more informative error message, enable at least one .pkg action package under Tools -\> Package Manager and restart Automise.) [/code] \ ---

I posted a screenshot, but it is not displaying properly. Possibly the forum doesn’t allow PNGs? The screenshot is at: [http://tinja.ws/18P1i7r](http://tinja.ws/18P1i7r) ---

Hi Chaim, This error arises when action packages haven’t loaded which are expected to be present in the Automise directory. I would suggest reinstalling Automise Runner. Also is this the only Automise product you have on the machine? If not, then I would be expecting the ATCMD and Automise4 to be having the same issues. ---

I reinstalled the GUI runner and the issue remains. The GUI runner is the only Automise product on that computer. This is a fresh VM. Although the install doesn’t complain, do I need to have a particular .NET framework installed? ---

I installed .NET framework v 4 and that didn’t solve my problem. ---

Hi Chaim, I have found the issue and will get a build to you ASAP. The runner is currently looking at the automise ini file. For a stop gap fix, you can copy the runner ini file to the automise location. This is found in the VSoft directory of the “Program Data” folder on windows 7. ---
