You can run any application from a specified location using a SystemUtil.Run statement.
"SystemUtil.Run" is especially useful if your test includes more than one application.
You can specify an application and pass any supported parameters, or you can specify a file name and the associated application starts with the specified file open.
for e.g. SystemUtil.run "iexplore.exe", "www.gmail.com"
"InvokeApplication" invokes an executable application.

Hi All,
Invoke application was using in WinRunner.
system.util.run using in QTP
Invoke application invoke only .exp files,

Both are used in QTP.
In most situations, you should use a SystemUtil.Run
statement to run applications or to open files in their
default application. A SystemUtil.Run statement is
automatically added to your test when you run an
application from the Start menu or the Run dialog box while
recording a test.
Sy:SystemUtil.Run "C:\type.txt", "", "", ""
InvokeApplication statement is supported primarily for
backward compatibility.
Sy: InvokeApplication "E:\Program Files\Plus!
\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE"

SystemUtil.Run works with any system utilities like
“Iexplore” apart from .exe file

Answer / lochana
Hi,
Invoke and Systemutil.run are used to open an application.
But the difference is that invoke function and
systemutil.run is object.method. Generally QTP contains
object.method with in the VB script.

Answer / kishore
Both can be used by QTP. Invokeapplication is used to
open .exe files where as Systemutil.run is used to run any
application.
For ex:
1. For this path "C:\Program Files\Mercury
Interactive\QuickTest
Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe" both will work
2. For the path "C:\Documents and
Settings\Kishore\Desktop\Flight.lnk" Only Systemutil.run
will work, but not invoke application

Answer / srinath
We can use both Invoke Application & systemutil.run in QTP
QTP can be said as it has more advanced feature than what
winrunner supports
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 4 Yes | 10 No |
invokeapplication and system.util.run both serves the same
purpose in QTP, but invokeapplication used while you are
writing the script where as system.util.run is used when
you record the application under test.
invoke_application is used in WinRunner to launch the
application.
