I am doing a project with SOMAC driver. When i run the runtime, it says "Cannot start application 'SOMAC. EXE'.... " error. Does anyone have any information on the solution to this?

The reason you did get this warning was as you have figured out that the driver was not running.
This is a built in feature in InTouch that any defined local application added as an Access Name will be checked for availability upon startup.
This behavior is to ensure that a driver you are dependent on for runtime data is running and this feature is enabled by default,
"Local Server" means that if the driver is defined to be accessed on a remote machine, then it will not be able to detect or start a driver.
If you want the possibility to have InTouch to start the driver upon the Yes option, then the driver .exe location has to be added to the Path system environment variable. Adding a folder to your path environment variable allows it to be started by calling the .exe without the full location.
As an example you can start notepad.exe run, without giving the full path to the exe.
But all this is much better managed by running the driver as a service, or as you resolved it ensure that it is running on login by placing it on the startup folder.
If you want to try to run it as a service, ensure that it is running under the startup option (Autostart after reboot) / "aka. Service".
