In advance, download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) from here. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en 1) Unzip sampletest.zip 2) Go to sampletest directory 3) Copy Snapsie.dll to C:\Windows 4) Execute "regsvr32 Snapsie.dll" in command prompt. 5) Run sampletest\runTestSuite.bat It launches IE as non HTA mode using iexploreproxy. However, automation QA is failed and IE alert happens. When replace sampletest\lib\selenium-server.jar with sampletest/selenium-server-1.0beta2.jar and do the same steps, automation QA is succeeded and screenshot is saved at C\1.png expectedly. Hence, iexploreproxy does not work in selenium RC of version 1.0.2.
