LR 11.0 installation in windows 7 ulimate 32 bit

[prasenjit dutta]

Hi,

I want to install LR11.0 in windows7/32 bit.

I have downloaded LR11.0 from HP site as a .winrar file. But when I tried to unzip it alws says file corrupted. I have downloaded 2/3 times the same thing(same size as given in the site), but everytime it is saying the same thing "file corrupted". But if I want to see the contents inside the zip, i can see a .iso file.

Can anyone suggest me how can I install LR (atleast vugen) in my windows 7 machine from that zipped file.

I have LR 9.52, but after installation it is not working in the windows 7 machine. Any suggestion on this is also appreciated.

Thanks,
Prasenjit

Hi Prasenjit,

Windows7 Home, Basic 32/64 bit is not compatible with LR9.5. so if you wanna install Lr on your machine than first you have to upgrade it to Windows7 Ultimate addition.

HI Saurav,

Thanks for ur reply.

I have ultimate installed in my machine. But after installing LR9.52, I tried to do a small recording, but it neither recorded any events (not a single one) nor launched the IE (IE7).

Could you provide me any workaround for this.

Thanks,
Prasenjit

Prasenjit, 

I think, first you have to install Vmware or Vmlite on your windows7 Ultimate. Then it is going to work. 

For more information you can check this site.

Hi,

 

YOu can download the .iso file and use the MagicDisc tool availabel on Net to open that zipped file.

This tool will open the iso folder and make it a drive.

Hi Prasenjit,

 

Please download LR 11 from below link

 
http://support.openview.hp.com/software_updates.jsp >>> My Updates

 

Please let me know if you face any issues.

Mubz

Yes, the workaround is to read the installation requirements.   Windows 7 is not a supported OS for 9.52.  You will need 11 if you wish to have your OS supported.

 

Larger question, why would anyone install a testing tool in an unsupported configuration?   This provides ample ammunition to anyone who wishes to attack the integrity of your test results and legitimately so.

Anita,

Grinder is for Java.
 .net applications are not supported.

There are many .Net applications which use XML for data exchange as between client and web services, as well as some which are purely HTTP based.   Are you suggesting that such standard protocol based solutions are completely untestable via Grinder?  If you were to post such an observation on groups which support Grinder I think you would find a different response.

This critisism is uncalled for when it's plainly described in the 9.52
ancient release documentation.
If you dont follow the software requirements what standard do you rely
on.

Hey James I have a 2-cycle moped can I run straight gas in it and make
it run.
How will we know until we try?
Oh yeah the instructions say it will ruin the engine. Now why would I
believe that?
Off the soap box

Label on the outside of email says timekeeping on a Rolex.   Text on the inside asks how to change the battery on a Timex.    Answer how to change the battery.

[prasenjit dutta]

wow....gr8, keep it up

[James Pulley]

Oh, and #1 most common problem with things not working correctly, outside of version mismatch to OS/browser, is making sure you have the appropriate rights on the host where your LR components are installed.   The rights that you will need are documented in the installation requirements.

 

As to the .iso thingy, you will either need to burn the image to a DVD for installation or use any of the installable file system utilities out here in the Internet which would then allow you to “mount” the .iso as an external file system and install from there,.

 

Toodles….

[anita koli]

Thanks Kamran!

 

Yeah I too found that Grinder is recommended for Java applications.

But I saw in a blog somewhere that someone used grinder for complex .Net application & he faced some authentication and long urls etc. issues.

 

But, I just want to know if Grinder does not support .Net application at all or it's just not recommended to use for .Net application?

 

Also, It will be highly appreciable if I can get user guide to work with grinder tool, as I am new to this tool

Anita koli

[Kamran Khan]

Email subject changed to make it appropriate

Anita,

It does not support .net application to my knowledge. I never used it personally so cannot express my experience though.

"Load test anything that has a Java API. This includes common cases such as HTTP web servers, SOAP and REST web services, and application servers (CORBA, RMI, JMS, EJBs), as well as custom protocols." Ref: http://grinder.sourceforge.net/

You might like to give a try though, I heard its a good tool and I'd wish to use it, provided I get some time.

.Net is a development model, not a protocol.  .Net development model applications take many forms, including those that may be tested with technologies from any/all/most commercial vendors, including HP with LoadRunner.   One of the original foundation technologies of .Net is the use of XML and web services, even with thick client technologies.   These can clearly be tested with HP LoadRunner.   Additionally .Net development models can be sued for ORACLE Applications, SQL Server Applications, ODBC Applications (with an OLEODBC shim), Sockets applications, etc…   All of these can be tested with LoadRunner, some of them can be tested with open source tools.   Once you get into .Net developed thick clients which make use of .Net remoting for connectivity between hosts then your options become very limited, consisting of .Net thick client development model integrations with your test tool (a la .Net virtual user), RDP/Citrix or GUI Virtual Users.

 

The last items associated with thick clients clearly cannot be tested with Grinder, etc…

 

Open Source technologies have been poor substitutes compared to the commercial tools  for two tier thick client technologies.   This is true not only for HP, but also for Rational and Microfocus’ twins of QALoad and SilkPerformer.   If it’s Winsock then you pretty much are into a pure Java tool or commercial test tool.

 

But, if the .net development model application makes use of web services and XML for data transport between layers then you have many options for tools based upon http.

 

So, to say that [Insert tool here] Cannot test a .Net development model application because it does not have .net on the tool is wrong.   Cultivate your architectural eye and consider the transport foundations of your application.   Consider the model of ASP.Net, which is pretty much HTTP.   It’s built using a  .Net development model, but its deployment is HTTP as a transport.  

 

Application architecture is something which can be taught.  Cultivating your architectural eye is something which comes from mentoring and experience.   This is why you need both training and mentoring to be successful in this profession.
