When I run a SilkTest test via SilkCentral Test Manager, why is SilkTest Runtime being used even though I don"t have SilkTest Runtime installed on my machine?

ANSWER
----------------------------------

• Install SilkTest and SilkCentral Test Manager (SilkCentral Test Manager)
  

• When you attempt to run a SilkTest test via SilkCentral Test Manager, you may notice a SilkTest Runtime splash screen appear and "Runtime" is displayed in the top left hand corner of the runtime status dialog, as below on your execution server:
  
  
  
  
  

  This is because when SilkCentral Test Manager invokes partner.exe (partner.exe is the SilkTest executable) it is invoked with a flag using runtime mode.
  

  This is "as designed" and will have no impact or adverse side affects on you running your SilkTest tests via SilkCentral Test Manager.
