TestExecute 11.20 installer failure/problems ...
Trying to install TestExecute on a VM in the office.
Running into some fairly major problems.
First it started giving us the "Installer has detected another instance of TestExecute is running on your machine." error. It's not. Just the installer. This VM has never had TestExecute or TestComplete in any shape or form installed on it.
We found this thread: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Desktop-Testing/Installation-of-TestComplete-in-Azure-VM-fails/td-p/117416
Which talked about a similar problem with TestComplete.
So we tried the "fix" in there. Renamed the installer (eh?) and tried again.
This time it starts to install. We get past the two "extracting" messages. But during the "Preparing to install" one in the InstallShield Wizard, the box minimises and doesn't come back. Task Manager can see it's still there. And it's still visible in the task bar. But you can't actually get at or see the window to continue. So we can't install it. Nothing works. No install. Does not look good for a proof of concept when what you're trying to prove falls at the first hurdle!
Thankfully, I was only sat with the dev guy at the time. And not a bunch of managers!
TestExecute v11.20
Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit running in a VM. (V1511 OS Build 10586.318)
According to the product notes, Win 10 64 bit is supported. It does not make any distinction for specific versions.
Any suggestions? It's pretty urgent as far as I'm concerned ....
(I am about to download the 11.30 installer and see if that works. But 11.20 should be supporting Win 10 AFAIK so I don't see how that should make any difference ...)
