Install UFT One with the install wizard

This topic describes how to run the UFT One installation wizard, which guides you through the installation process.

If you are installing UFT One on a computer using a language other than English, your installation setup and wizard automatically runs in the language of your computer.

Run the installation wizard

Before the installation, restart your computer to ensure complete configuration of the system.

Then, run the Setup.exe file, and select Unified Functional Testing Setup. Follow the steps as instructed to complete your installation.

When the UFT One installation is complete, you are prompted to view the Readme and installation log.

You may also be prompted to restart your computer. If you are, we recommend restarting as soon as possible. Delaying the system restart may result in unexpected UFT One behavior.

Note: If you are using Web 2.0 add-ins or extensibility toolkits, perform additional installations. For details, see Install Web 2.0 add-ins or extensibility toolkits.
