Running CodedUI Test From Another Application

I'm planning to run my coded UI test from another project (in same solution). I added a reference of the CUIT project to my winform app project. Also I added these references as well
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.CodeGeneration.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Framework.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Playback.dll
My code is something like this
Playback.Initialize();
TestProject.CodedUITest1 coded = new TestProject.CodedUITest1();
coded.CodedUITestMethod1();
Playback.Cleanup();
However, I get an exception on the Playback.Initialize() call.
this is the message...
"An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.PlaybackFailureException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.dll"
Someone said that installing Test agent 2010/Test agent10 can solve this error.
I installed MS Visual studio Test Agent 2010, but same error happens.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

I tried to run the test the same way you do and it worked for me.
Below are the reference dlls I have added in my projects
Please make sure you have added all the dlls. In case you are not able to find the dlls, look for them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies.
If this doesn't work please provide the details of inner exception.

I found an answer to my problem. I found that the message of the inner exception is
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {27876903-E697-4406-BF49-1B8B92CB8735} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."
After digging around I found that I have a 32 bit third party dll which I'm running on my 64-bit machine. The conflict is 64 bit process trying to invoke 32 bit process in 64 bit machine.
The solution is to change the project properties to target to 'X86' machine instead of 'Any'.

**Yes I've placed the .dll file on the bin folder.
please enlighten me, how can I overcome this situation with the .dll file working.

I hope that will help me with this issue.
I have a problem with a application (winforms) build with .net framework 4.5 and ReportViewer 11 (Reporv Viewer 2012). Ago few weeks I deploy using Windows Azure and install to clients, but when i run a report show me an exception.
**An error occurred during local report processing.
Failed to load expression host assembly. Details: Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401)**
When I deploy in network (LAN) was working fine, but when I deploy via internet i get this error, this error only occurs when i start the application via shortcut .appref-ms, but if I start application executing .exe file show report correctly.
Some else have this problem and how solve?

MonoGame not working

I am just getting started with MonoGame (and game programming in general) and cant run any programs. I keep getting this exception message
An unhandled exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in MonoGame.Framework.dll
Additional information: Unable to load DLL 'openal32.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Does anybody know how I can fix this?

You'll need to install OpenAL.
This is included in the standard MonoGame installer, and placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\MonoGame\v3.0\oalinst.exe".

Yes, you need to install OpenAL. If you're bulding windows game project it will be wise to add OpenAL DLL file links into your project and mark them to be copied to Output directory. This way your deployed game will not require separate OpenAL installation on client (or even on another dev machine).
Dll files are:
OpenAL32.dll
wrap_oal.dll

I had the same error, when you have win10 it includes directX, so if you are using win 8 or less you need to install direct10: the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35&nowin10
and.... finally works!!!

"Unable to find an entry point named 'sqlite3_open_v2' in DLL 'sqlite3'.":""

I am working on a windows forms application. when I run the application on windows 8 (VS2012), the application runs upto an extent and then crashes, giving the exception "{"Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)"}".
I downloaded the 32 bit SQLite3 and added it to my solution. thereafter I got the error
{"Unable to find an entry point named 'sqlite3_open_v2' in DLL
'sqlite3'.":""}.
I am running my application in the release mode.
kindly help me fix this issue!!

Is your application running as x86 or x64? You may want to check your build configuration.
