Installation Error TestComplete.exe is running (Not all pre-installation conditions are met)

Hi, I am trying to install TestComplete.exe on a Windows7 Enterprise machine (v6.1 ServicePack1) (I can see other posts that have experienced this, but cannot find any resolution) Points to Note: ...

Even with the installation error, does TestComplete run afterwards?

I found this similar post for an issue in test execute that got resolved - I'll take a backup of the registry and see if I have something similar that I can remove.

   Re: TestExecute install fails with Error code -1, seeing previous installation even though not exist

   this worked:

   Our developers want you to remove the following keys before install new version of TE:

   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{E1430B2E-6973-1440-8233-  724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield_{E1430B2E-6973-1440-8233-724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{E1430B2E-6973-1450-8233-724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield_{E1430B2E-6973-1450-8233-724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{E1430B2E-6973-1460-8233-724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield_{E1430B2E-6973-1460-8233-724BAC44AAF2}
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SmartBear\TestExecute\14.0

 

   Afterwards, try installing the latest release of TestExecute and see if the issue still occurs. 

I will update the post after I have tried it out

Thanks

Mike

    Unfortunately that did not work.

    I searched the registry and could not find anything similar or SmartBear related,

    I checked I could Create a Registry key and value - all okay (I then deleted it okay)

    I re-ran the install and got the same error here's the full log:

     Definately nothing installed. Any other suggestions welcome
