# Protocol SDK

The Protocol SDK package allows you to create custom VuGen protocols from within Visual Studio.

This package is provided as an extension to Visual Studio 2015.

Note: Projects created in an earlier version using Visual Studio 2012 must be upgraded. For details, see Upgrading to Visual Studio 2015 in the Protocol SDK documentation, available after installing the Protocol SDK.

To install and use the protocol library package:

1. Prerequisite. Make sure the following are installed:

   - Visual Studio 2015 with the Visual C++ language enabled
   - WiX toolset 3.10.3 to 3.11
   - WiX toolset add-in for Visual Studio 2015. If the WiX toolset was installed before Visual Studio 2015, you will need to reinstall it.

2. Locate the installation file, SetupLoadRunnerProtocolSDK.exe, in your installation package's Additional Components\LoadRunnerProtocolSDK folder. You can also install this extension on a machine that does not have an installation of OpenText Professional Performance Engineering.

3. Follow the installation wizard to completion.

4. Download the Protocol_SDK_Help.zip from the knowledge base. Extract the ZIP contents to <installdir>\LoadRunner Protocol SDK\documents.

   To open the help, click <installdir>\LoadRunner Protocol SDK\documents\LR_Protocol_SDK\webframe.html.

5. Create a new test using the LoadRunner Protocol SDK template.
