Prerequisite software for Windows

Before installing the application, ensure that the prerequisite software is installed on the Windows machine.

When you launch the installation wizard, it automatically checks which prerequisite components are already present and identifies any that are missing. The installer then proceeds to install all missing prerequisite software automatically.

Note: Some prerequisite components require manual installation.

The following prerequisites apply to all installation types listed in the General system requirements section, except for Monitor over Firewall and MI Listener.

Prerequisite software

Means of detection

.NET Framework 4.8

Searches the registry key for the Release value. Its expected value should be greater than 528040:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Note: .NET Framework 4.8 replaces the .NET Framework 4.6.2 and earlier files. If there are any applications that are using the .NET Framework 4.6.2 or earlier files and are running during the installation of .NET Framework 4.8, you may need to restart your machine. If you are prompted to restart the machine, restart it before continuing the installation.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2022 (x86 and x64)

Queries the MSI manager for the GUID:

·         {65E5BD06-6392-3027-8C26-853107D3CF1A}

·         {36F68A90-239C-34DF-B58C-64B30153CE35}

In addition, the following Windows updates need to be manually installed:

Windows 10: KB5031356

The following prerequisite software must be installed on the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server and Standalone VuGen machines.

Prerequisite software

Cloud computing

All OpenText Professional Performance Engineering and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering components can be deployed on the cloud and run under Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform instances or virtual machines, using a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model.

Deployment requirements:

·         All components of the cloud computing environment follow the system requirements specified in this document.

·         The required ports are open for communication. For details, see Load Generators on the Cloud in the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering help or Communications Paths in the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering help.

Note:

·         Cloud load generators can be provisioned using the products’ built-in functionality. For details, see Manage Load Generators on the Cloud in the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering help or Provision elastic cloud load generators in the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering help. All other components must be manually installed and configured by the user.

·         To improve performance, it is preferable to deploy the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server, hosts, and database in the same region. Consult the cloud provider documentation for best practices about network performance.

·         Cloud load generator ports are configurable. When all the components are in the cloud, the ports to use are defined by the cloud provider (they are not based on internal IT policies).
