Command run with MS app return an error

[LittleVaaty]

Trying to run this command. Outlook opens but on the same desktop as I'm running the command on, Desktop 3.

C:\temp\Downloads>VDesk run --no-switch --on 1 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
<3>VDesk.Commands.RunCommand[0] Element not found. (0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))
Windows version: 10.0.22621.3447

Ok good, i will close this issue and open a new one for MS App See #9

also I did add its path to my environmental variables the error message went away.. but still didn't run app in desktop 1

Probably has something to do with this Process.Start from System.Diagnostics, relating doc is here.

Maybe this or that migh help. So you could try:
VDesk run --no-switch --on 1 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" -a "--app" or
VDesk run --no-switch --on 1 "shell:AppsFolder\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8!Netflix.App" where Netflix should be replaces with the correct text for Outlook.

Maybe also have something to do with UseShellExecute : info.UseShellExecute = false; or info.UseShellExecute = true;.

Just ideas.

After some testing it aper that the app is to slow to start and when vdesk try to move the window in the correct desktop, the window does't exit.
I will add a parameter to force vdesk to wait the choosen amount of time after the start of the process

[cruzer619]

going to assume -w switch will work on next revision.. as current vdesk doesn't recognize the switch.

@cruzer619 Yeah, wait for next release.

@LittleVaaty just installed latest release.. and no-switch is not working. ran on desktop 3 and outlook runs on desktop 3 instead of desktop 1. Removing the no-switch does run on desktop 1.

vdesk run --on 1 --no-switch -w 1000 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"

Also making wait time longer then 1000 gets this error:
