This
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.
Download the UFT One installation package
Access the installation packages from the free trial page or by selecting your account on the Software Licenses and Downloads page.
Download the Full UFT One DVD Release or Core UFT One DVD Bundle.
Extract the files from the downloaded .zip file and locate the Setup.exe file that runs the installation.
Caution: Make sure that the installation files are extracted to an empty folder, at a location whose path does not exceed 80 characters.
Windows is limited to 260 characters in these files. The installation will fail if the file paths of the individual installation files are longer. In such cases, move the extracted installation files to a location with a shorter path.
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 UFT One Setup from the installation start screen. 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.
