QuickTest Professional 9.2:
QuickTest Professional 9.2 supports Windows Vista 32-bit Edition.
Working with Windows Vista:
* The security settings in Microsoft Windows Vista may prevent you from performing a QuickTest Professional-related installation, such as a patch installation, or connecting to a Quality Center project (either directly or from QuickTest Professional). This can occur when the User Account Control (UAC) option in Windows Vista is set to ON, and you have not yet connected to a Quality Center project (if relevant).
Workaround: To work with Quality Center, temporarily turn off the User Account Control (UAC) option, as follows:
1. Log in to Windows Vista as an administrator.
2. From the Control Panel, choose User Accounts > Change Security Settings.
3. Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box and click OK.
4. Connect to Quality Center as usual. After connecting to Quality Center, you can turn the User Account Control (UAC) option on again. Hereafter, you should be able to connect to Quality Center, as needed.
* Due to a problem opening DCOM permissions on Windows Vista, QuickTest does not run properly on a remote Windows Vista host from Quality Center.
Workaround: Run RmtAgentFix.exe from the bin folder.
* On Windows Vista, QuickTest Professional seat licenses may not work correctly if you are not logged on as an administrator. (Note that concurrent licenses work as usual.)
Workaround: On Windows Vista, install QuickTest Professional and any QuickTest add-ins as an administrator. To do this, right-click setup.exe from the root folder of the QuickTest Professional installation CD and choose Run as administrator.
Then, every time you open QuickTest, open it as an administrator. To do this, right-click the QuickTest Professional icon on your desktop and choose Run as administrator.
* On Windows Vista 32-bit, QuickTest Professional text recognition features (such as text checkpoints and output values, GetVisibleText and GetTextLocation test object methods, and TextUtil.GetText and TextUtil.GetTextLocation reserved object methods) are limited and are not always reliable.
Workaround: On Windows Vista, you can improve text recognition by applying the Classic Windows theme and by setting the mode key in the Windows Registry Editor to 3 – OCR only (described above).
* When using the Mercury Screen Recorder on Windows Vista, setting the Window’s display settings to the Classic Windows theme may improve performance.
* Record and run session performance may be affected adversely when using the Mercury Screen Recorder on a computer running Windows Vista 32-bit or any 64-bit operating system. This is because some capture drivers (such as Blueberry or ASUS’ Enhanced Display Driver) cannot be installed on these operating systems. Note that if you try to install the capture driver from the Screen Recorder Options dialog box while working on one of these operating systems, an error message is displayed.
QuickTest Professional 9.1:
QuickTest Professional 9.1 supports ‘Windows Vista Beta 2-build 5384’.
Working with Windows Vista:
* When installing QuickTest Professional on Windows Vista Beta 2, the QuickTest icon is not installed on your desktop or in the Start menu. (A default icon is installed instead.)
Work-around: Modify the icon manually.
* QuickTest Professional does not support the recording of operations on the Start menu of Windows Vista Beta 2.
* The security settings in Windows Vista Beta 2 may prevent you from connecting to a Quality Center project (either directly or from QuickTest Professional). This can occur when the User Account Control (UAC) option in Windows Vista is set to ON, and you have not yet connected to a Quality Center project.
Work-around: To work with Quality Center, temporarily turn off the User Account Control (UAC) option, as follows:
1. Log in to Windows Vista as an administrator.
2. From the Control Panel, choose User Accounts -> Change Security Settings.
3. Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box and click OK.
4. Connect to Quality Center as usual. After connecting to Quality Center, you can turn the User Account Control (UAC) option on again. Hereafter, you should be able to connect to Quality Center, as needed.
* When working with Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 3, QuickTest Professional may not recognize Web objects, even though the Web Add-in is installed and loaded.
Work-around: In Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 3, choose Tools -> Internet Options. In the Security tab, clear the Enable Protected Mode check box and click OK.
* Due to a problem opening DCOM permissions on Windows Vista Beta 2, QuickTest does not run properly on a remote Windows Vista Beta 2 host from Quality Center.
Work-around: Run RmtAgentFix.exe from the bin folder.

Hi Ankur,
I have gone thru all the comments of urs in th ebolg and found it very useful for the fresher.
Could you please help me with the QTP , as i have installed QTP 10 on Windows XP ,When am trying to record any of the site through I.E i.e IE 8.0 the browser gets closed by itself .
Hi,
I am having trouble getting QTP to record against a web browser. When I click on the Record button, by choosing http://newtours.demoaut.com option, QTP cannot get hooks into the Browser to record the actions.
Now, the Browser does launch automatically, however, it appears in the background. QTP is not recording at this point. I am getting an error message from QTP which reads; “The Browser Application cannot be launched. Possibly, the URL is wrong.”
After I click OK on this dialog box, QTP does not begins recording.
I am using VISTA and Installed QTP 10.00 evaluation
Please advise as soon as possible.

Ankur,
Earlier i was using QTP 9.2 on win xp, there if i uninstalled and cleaned my registry using regclean and then installed qtp again there it used to work, but here regclean is not working with vista, so i didn’t get any tool from microsoft to clean registry of vista.
If above steps helps in reinstalling QTP 9.2 on vista, let me know if u know any way to registry cleaning on Vista.
Thanks,
Hanamant
@Hanamant: Trial version as the name suggests is only for 14 days, after that you have to buy a license to work on QTP.

Hi,
This is Prakash. Am a novice in Automation. So to make myself familiar I downloaded the trail version of QTP 9.5 and installed in my notebook with Windows Vista. After normal installation, I was running “Additional Installation Requirements–>Configure DCOM settings”, I got this message “Run time error ‘424’: Object Required”. I clicked OK from the displayed window and finally it displayed that installation is completed.
Then I started QuickTest Professional–>New Test..I noticed two issues:
Issue 1: RECORD button is in disabled state.
Issue 2: The default view selected is ExpertView and when I tried to select “Keyword View”. I can view ERROR(glowing in RED) at the bottommost right corner and also info “Syntax Error.See Information pane for details”.But nothing is displayed in Information pane.
Already another faced the same problem and requested for solution in this blog.
Can anyone assist me plz.
my email is cmjayaprakash@gmail.com

hi,
Very useful blog. Good information on QTP.Thanks Ankur for ur effort to bring Automation in to light u are helping many people who r shifting to automation.
Keep it up!
Cheers
MINNI
@ Bharat: Thanks!
@ Jas:
I suggest you to do a small piece of recording on some small part of your app(the same part that was recorded on XP which QTP is not able to identify now.) Try to find out the difference in recorded object properties between the two. If you can see a pattern(of differences), I believe your problem would be solved.
Both ways let me know the outcome.
Ankur,
Thanks alot for posting this information on Internet as it has been very helpful to me.
I have a few questions regarding Vista and QTP 9.2. I will be very grateful to you if you can answer them for me.
We are upgrading our platfrom to Vista. As all my QTP test scripts were created on XP platfrom, none of them are running on Vista.Tool is unable to idenify any objects on Vista.
Do i have to rescript them? Is there a way i can make them work by doing some settings on Vista??
How can i solve this problem.
Please let me know as i am in a big problem.
Thanks in Advance,
