Each attempt by Visual Studio to “run the test” results in “Unable to start QTAgent32.exe program”,

Whenever I run a test, and then try to run the test again, I get the following error:

Failed to start test run.

Unable to start the program 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \ Common7 \ IDE \ QTAgent32.exe'.

If you run the test again after this, it will continue as usual. In other words, I get this error every time I try to run a test. It doesn’t matter if the previous test was successful or unsuccessful, whether it was run before completion or was interrupted, or I run one test or all of them throughout the solution.

What could be the reason for this? What can i fix?

We were able to solve this problem by disabling IntelliTrace. Tools-> Options-> IntelliTrace, uncheck "Enable IntelliTrace".
