You have a .Net application that fails to load and you are suspecting that it may have to do with assembly dependencies. On a development machine fuslogvw.exe will aid you in collecting failed assembly binding but fuslogvw.exe is not normally available on production environment. So what do you do? Logging of assembly binding can be enabled via the Registry, to do so navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion . Add the following keys with corresponding values: Key Type Value ForceLog DWORD 1 LogFailures DWORD 1 LogResourceBinds DWORD 1 LogPath String C:\FusionLog\ You need to restart the .Net application under test for this to take effect. The log files will be saved in C:\FusionLog . Reference(s): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012252/using-fuslogvw-exe-on-a-machine-with-no-visual-studio-installed

Enhanced session mode in Hyper-V allows redirection of local devices and resources from computers running virtual machine connection. This is very convenient functionality as it allows the same level of interaction as remote desktop connection. In fact, it seems like it is a modified version of RDP from the way it works. To use it you need to have host OS running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 Enterprise or later. The guest OS has to be Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 Pro or later.

I can't find documentation in SikuliX to show a window or dialog and hide/close it after configured time. Since SikuliX uses Jython behind the scenes and Jython can access Java easily then showing a simple Swing window should be straightforward.
