Installation wizard

This topic describes how to run the OpenText Functional Testing installation wizard, which guides you through the installation process. Before running this process, make sure you review the Installation packages and the instructions in Before you install.

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

Download the 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 OpenText Functional Testing Setup from the installation start screen. Follow the steps as instructed to complete your installation.

For more details on the steps of the installation wizard, see below.

When the OpenText Functional Testing 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 OpenText Functional Testing 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.

OpenText Functional Testing improvement program

In the End-User License Agreement pane, you can select Participate in the OpenText Functional Testing improvement program.

If this option is selected, usage data is collected and sent back to OpenText. This data helps us understand which improvements matter most to users.

In the wizard, click More Details for details about the program.

Note: You can later deactivate and reactivate this data collection inside the product configuration options. For more details, see Usage Data Collector pane.

Change the user interface language

By default, OpenText Functional Testing is installed in English.

If you want to install OpenText Functional Testing in the language of your operating system, select the language option at the bottom of the License Agreement screen.

Custom Setup screen

Select the features you want to install in the Custom Setup screen.

For each feature, select one of the following installation options:

Will be installed on local hard drive.

Installs the selected feature on your local hard drive. Sub-features of the selected feature are not installed.

Entire feature will be unavailable.

Excludes the feature from the installation. It will not be available in OpenText Functional Testing.

To install any of these features later, you can rerun the installation with the Change or Modify option and select them then.

The following table describes each feature listed:

Feature	Description
Runtime Engine	Mandatory. Enables you to run tests create d in OpenText Functional Testing or OpenText Functional Testing for Developers.

ABBYY OCR Engine	Enables you to use ABBYY OCR text recognition. Note: The ABBYY OCR Engine files are included in the Full UFT One DVD Release and in the Package for the Web Bundle. If you already installed OpenText Functional Testing without the ABBYY OCR Engine and you want to include it in the installation now, you must run the installation program as an administrator. The Core UFT One DVD Bundle does not include the ABBYY OCR Engine files. If you downloaded that installation package and then you want to install the ABBYY OCR Engine feature, do the following: Download the standalone UFT OCR Expansion Pack. Download the version that matches the Core UFT One DVD Bundle version you use. You can access the installation files from the free trial page or by selecting your account on the Software Licenses and Downloads page. As an administrator, run the installation program and select the ABBYY OCR Engine feature on the Custom Setup screen. On the next screen, specify the location of the UFT OCR Expansion Pack .zip file. Installing this feature requires approximately 1GB of space.
GUI Testing Add-ins	Provide the support which enables you to test applications using supported technology versions. If you plan to test Web 2.0 applications, install the Web Add-in as well.

OpenText Functional Testing Configuration screen

Select any required items you want to configure automatically with the installation.

Configuration options include:

Option	Description
Set Chrome, Chromium Edge, Firefox options	Enables OpenText Functional Testing to automatically install the OpenText UFT Agent extensions in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. This option updates your browser policies and adds the extensions to your browsers' allowlist or installation list, enabling the extensions to be installed during OpenText Functional Testing installation. Caution: Make sure that your company's security policies permit you to make this change. Deselecting this option removes any browser policy updates performed by previous installations. If you deselect this option, you can rerun the installation later with the Change or Modify option and select it then. Alternatively, you can manually add the extensions to the lists of allowed extensions. For details on doing this manually, see Enable extension installation in your browser policy.

Allow running OpenText Functional Testing remotely from Automation Scripts	Changes DCOM permissions and security settings to enable other computers to remotely control OpenText Functional Testing using automation scripts. To set these options manually later on, see https://support.microfocus.com/kb/kmdoc.php?id=KM02239325
