What is the next upstream architectural component that your application communicates with? LoadRunner supports some 20++ different interfaces plus the ability to use application source code directly, or go upstream with GUI, Citrix or RDP virtual users

You should select the Web-HTTP/HTML protocol and in record window you need to select Windows application . Remember you need to provide the desktop .exe file location.

Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Teams Installer\Teams.exe

Please see the below steps for better understanding.

Thank you. Im looking for something like image capturing and then playing the recorded script just like a sikuli tool do.
