How to open an external executable file using jenkins

Question

I tried it in execute window batch command like

cd c:\EMailer\
call testcompete.exe

But it is not working then i tried

start testcomplete.exe

This testcomplete will run the automated site and write a text file . It is also not working.Is there any pluggin or method in jenkin to open external executable files? enter image description here showing prompt when testcomplete trying to start

"open an external executable" is not clear... Do you just want to run it? if so, both options you noted should work. Do you want to fork it and not wait for it? You should remember that the process runs under the java, which is running Jenkins. — Eldad Assis

1. If you run it from command line, does it run? 2. Is Jenkins running as a service? — Eldad Assis

Try setting the Jenkins service to "Allow service to interact with the desktop". Does it help (after service restart)? — Eldad Assis

Set the Jenkins service to "Allow service to interact with the desktop". This will allow Jenkins to use the desktop as a resource.

You need to install Windows Exe Runner Plugin in Jenkins.
