Hi Friends,

Now i want to open DaxStudio in same way. i tried by giving runas /netonly /user: abc "C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\bin\DaxStudio.vsto"

But failing to open. Getting some error. Can you please guide how to open.

First try whether the file and path is valid

"C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe"

 

second step is to launch command prompt and paste "C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe" and press enter. (Dummy step, just to make sure it is working)

 

last and final step is 

runas /netonly /user:abc "C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe"

 

Note: .vsto is visual studio tools for office add-in file.
