    Thank you Marsha for looking into this!

     

    BBMI I found your support case (#00443693), and see that the Support Team identified this as a known issue that seems to be machine-specific. The current workaround is to stay on v. 14.30 until a fix is found. I will mark this as a temporary solution here. Please share the final result with the Community too, when you have it. Thank you.

    Hello,
    thank you Marsha for your answer.

    1- I am on a WINDOWS 7 machine, I install and uninstall all versions of TC / TE up to version 14.30 without any problem. However, the installation of version 14.40 or 14.50 never succeeded.
    2- I did a second installation test on a second WINDOWS 7 machine, the result is identical, that is, until version 14.30 no problem, but, versions 14.40 and 14.50 without success.
    3- I did a 3rd installation test on a 3rd WINDOWS 10 machine: with success
    4- I did a 4th installation test on a 4th WINDOWS 10 machine: with success

    regarding the recommendations of the site https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/834484/you-receive-an-error-1603-a-fatal-error-occurred-during-installation, nothing has changed .

    Is this problem perhaps related to the incompatibility of TC / TE 14.40 / 14.50 with WIndows 7? and yet on the website https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/general-info/system-requirements.html everything is compatible.

    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
