PeopleSoft Test Framework 8.52.04 - Unhandled exception

Question

I am getting an "Unhandled exception" when running the PeopleSoft Test Framework 8.52.04 on Windows Server 2008. I think I have the syntax correct. Is anyone else having this issue or know how to resolve it?
Thanks

Hi,
I haven't seen this error, nor have I used PTF from the command line, just running online in from the tool to the browser, but when I look at PeopleBooks it says
if you do not use the -CD= parameter to specify the connection data, use the parameters in the following table:
–CS= Specify the server:port to connect to. This is the Server:Port value you would enter in the PeopleSoft Test Framework Signon dialog box when signing on to PTF.
–CNO= Specify the node name.
–CO= Specify the user name.
So I would say your command line would have to look like this:
"C:\Program Files\PeopleSoft\PeopleSoft Test Framework\PsTestFw.exe" -CS=SERVER:PORT -CNO=PT_LOCAL -CO=VP1 -CP=VP1 -TST=OURTEST -TC=DEFAULT -EXO=QE851_No_Folder -LOG=my_run_log
PeopleBooks does not state that the -CNO and -EXO are optional
