I have set up the UFT developer on my system to run some tests which were created in LeanFT as i need to get them running in Edge, I think i have it all setup and was going to get it to run in IE for the moment which has been working fine on a VM for years but on my system i am getting the following error message, i will note that Leanft is installed on the VM and not the new UFT version.  Can anyone help me please as i have until June to get this working in Edge
