Did you resolve this? 

I'm having the exact same issues with installing UFT 12.05.

The LoadRunner/PC installation for Windows is MSI based. So anything that might be required by MSI should be allowed. In this case it seems that MSI requires relevant registry permissions.

Although running LoadRunner doesn't require admin privileges(except for some specific utilities as described in readme), the installation does require admin-like privileges.

Hi Konkala,

Have you tried installing with "Right click -> Run as Adminiatrator"?

Thanks,

Hi,

Try these and see if it makes any difference::

1. Navigate to the following registry subkey:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
• In the details pane (Right Pane), locate the EnableLUA key (REG_DWORD type). Double click to Modify.
• In the Value data box, type 0 (zero), and then click OK.
• Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

2. Disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Steps to disable DEP:

• Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
• On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
• On the Data Execution Prevention tab, use one of the following procedures: •
• Click Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only to select the OptIn policy.
• Click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select to select the OptOut policy, and then click Add to add the programs that you do not want to use the DEP feature.
• Click OK twice

After the above changes were made, try to install LoadRunner and see if it makes any difference.
