It took me some time but I was able to install a private instance of WPT on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Putting shortcuts in the Startup folder does not work and I had to use the Task Scheduler instead. UrlBlast and WptDriver tasks are started on user log on. This is needed in order for WPT to be able to capture screen-shots.
I also had to enable auto-login for the user account and disable a legal notice banner that is normally shown when user logs in.
Everything works fine for Google Chrome and Firefox.
If I choose IE11 for a browser I can see that UrlBlast picks up the job and then the server restarts. Very bizarre. I cannot find any information in the Event Log to tell me why this is happening.
Has anyone encountered this problem? How to fix it?
Thanks!
