Hi Prakashsun,

I’ve removed the link from your question as this is a personal link.

As for your question, I suppose that the installation file was corrupted while downloading. I would recommend that you download it one more time by using a special download tool, for example this one. Please let me know how it goes.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have downloaded the Test complete8  from the http://download.cnet. com.

I was able to install and when i try launching it asks to activate the license.

but even after activating the license successsfully i am getting the pop up to activate the license again when i try to launch testcomplete.

I have attached the screenshots for your reference.

Please let me know if you need more details

Please request the trial on this page: http://smartbear.com/product/testcomplete/free-trial/

The latest TestComplete version is v.11. TestComplete 8 doesn't support testing mobile devices (on Android and iOS).

I tried downloading testcomplete from here http://smartbear.com/product/testcomplete/free-trial/

but I was getting the error which i mentioned it first comment.
I tried downloading it 2 to 3 times from different machines still faing the same issue;

- Your anti-virus could be interfering with the installation process.  Try turning it off.

- You could have permission problems writing to the TEMP directory.  Check that you can create a file in %TEMP%

- Some companies set a policy preventing execution from the TEMP directory.  In a CMD shell (as Administrator) create your own TEMP directory, set the environment variables, and retry the installation:

C:\> mkdir C:\TEMP
C:\> set TEMP=C:\TEMP
C:\> set TMP=C:\TEMP
C:\> TestCompleteDemo.exe   (or whatever the installation package is called)

I tried all 3 steps you mentioned.

Still getting the same issue..As you mentioned in 3rd step I have created new temp folder and set the environment variables.

When I run the exe getting the errors, Attached the screenshot for the same-Error Extracting.png

In the newly created temp folder i can see some files getting extracted.

Attached the screenshot for the same --Extracted Files in Temp.png

Also If i doubleclick on the TestComplete.msi in the temp folder getting the error--Windows Installer Error.png

Please help me to resolve the issue.

Hi,

> I tried downloading it 2 to 3 times from different machines still faing the same issue;

I agree with Tanya that TestComplete's installer was not downloaded completely. This well may happen if, for example, there is a proxy between the machines you've tried to download from and SmartBear's site - proxy might cache the broken file and did not refresh it.

Have you checked that the size of downloaded file is the same as it was reported while downloading?

Hi,

Is there any other place that i can get the seup file Or can you please send the zip file of setup to my email

We are actually running out of time, we need to finalise the tool by next week and show the demo of POC to client.

Thanks in Advance 🙂

The only other suggestion I can think of at the moment is to make sure that you've got enough space on the disk.  If that fails please open a support case.
