UFT and HP ALM connectivty - hp-uft

I have installed HP UFT v12.01 and when trying to connect via HP UFT to HP ALM Quality Center v11.0 and I get the following error:
Failed to update components from server.
Failed Hosting the Spider ActiveX
Any suggestions?

Follow the steps below
Launch IE as admin and navigate to ALM Tools
From the ALM Tools page, select "HP ALM Connectivity" and run.
You should receive an "Installation Successful" message.
From the ALM Tools page, select "HP ALM Client Registration"
and "Register HP ALM."
Log into your ALM Client to make sure that works.
Run UFT as administrator (this just needs to be done the first time
when connecting to ALM).
Try connecting to ALM and see if the problem is still there.

If logging into ALM first, and then connecting to ALM through UFT does not work (as suggested by Vvvaib above), then try this:
- Open UFT as an administrator (right-click on icon, select "Run as Administrator") and then try logging into ALM.

I faced the same issue recently. Solution that worked for me is- close UFT.
Login to ALM using your valid credentials from IE. Now launch UFT. Probably this error would not appear any more. If it still does then from UFT go to your ALM credentials settings remove them and restart UFT and fill the credentials again and connect. Problem should get solved. I don't know the exact reason behind this error.

Disable UAC and antivirus if any. Login as administrator and then invoke UFT and try to connect ALM. It should work.

You should delete ALM client. You can do this by deleting files from below folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\HP
C:\Users\All Users\HP
C:\ProgramData\HP
After that run UFT with admin rights. When you successfully connect to ALM rerun UFT without admin rights.

Check the Server URL which you are using in the ALM Connection Dialog box.
use Server Url.
and follow the:
Launch IE as admin and navigate to ALM Tools
From the ALM Tools page, select "HP ALM Connectivity" and run. You should receive an "Installation Successful" message.
From the ALM Tools page, select "HP ALM Client Registration" and "Register HP ALM."
Log into your ALM Client to make sure that works.
Run UFT as administrator (this just needs to be done the first time when connecting to ALM).
Try connecting to ALM.

VS Express 2013 for Web - Browser is security restricted or JavaScript is disabled

I initially installed the Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my desktop. My desktop runs Windows 8.1 with internet explorer 11. It ran fine until the license expired after the first 30 days. I tried to sign in to renew the license, however after clicking the 'sign in' button I get an error dialog. The dialog states 'Browser is security restricted or javaScript is disabled. I have no other option but to close and exit Visual Studio.
I went to the online forums for Microsoft. There were discussions and suggestions on how to fix the error. I tried lowering the settings for the security tab in internet explorer. I have validated the option for scripting is enabled. I have also added https://*.visualstudio.com to the trusted sites tab. Other users on the forum have tried the same suggestions and have not succeeded in signing into the visual studio application.
I had exactly the same problem, here is what I did:
a) Go in IE, click on settings wheel then Internet Options and Security tab.
b) Click on Custom level button (make sure you select Internet zone).
c) In Security Settings window, under Scripting I set Enabled for Active scripting.
After that Sign In should work. Even though Chrome is default browser, it seems that VS uses IE for sign in process.
Hope this helps!
There is another issue people are running into that is a bug with the login dialog. The login dialog is using a Web Browser control to login the user. By default it loads up "about:blank" as the URI. It then proceeds to try to execute some JavaScript (just ";") to verify it has permissions to do so. On some machines this is problematic because "about:blank" has been mapped to zone 0, or the Local Machine zone. When the JavaScript is executed MSHTML will check the zone of the URI and then the policy for executing scripts. By default the Local Machine zone is locked down, and all script executions result in a Query policy. What this means is if you're running in immersion mode (aka in Internet Explorer) you will get a message box asking if you want to execute the script. However, the Web Browser control used by VS 2013's "Sign In" dialog doesn't run MSHTML code in immersion mode, so the Query policy effectively equates to a Disallow policy. The bug here is someone in VS assumed "about:blank" resolves to the Internet zone, and when it resolves to the Local Computer zone you get this behavior.
The workaround is to remove "about:blank" zone mapping. Point regedit to this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
Remove the "blank" key.
Alternatively you can change the Local Machine Lockdown policy for executing scripts. The reg key for that is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0]
Set the "1400" DWORD value to 0.
There are many sites you need to list in your Trusted Sites. Following the trace of what the stupid, stupid login script does:
https://.visualstudio.com
https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com
https://.accesscontrol.windows.net
https://auth.gfx.ms
https://login.live.com
Only then was I able to log on to my FREE software.
Hi this is Albert from Microsoft. Just want to let you all know that this issue has been fixed in the upcoming Update 2 for Visual Studio 2013. Thanks for your patience while we figured this one out :)
Same problem "Browser is security restricted or JavaScript is disabled" here but the solution from #jic didn't work for me..
If you can and it is convenient for you this is a solution which worked for me:
I have created a new user/profile on my PC and for this user it was just working fine.
Before this action I have tried to make an user account which had this problem as:
Power user - didn't work
Administrator - didn't work as well
So the last solution in my case was a brand new user on the PC..
Here's what worked for me.
Open Control Panel, Internet Options.
First, I clicked the Security tab and turned security the security for the Internet zone to its minimum.
Next, click the Privacy tab, then click Advanced. Choose "Accept" for both types of cookies.
Of course you can change these all back after extending your VS trial.
you must change secure settings of iexplore for admin account. If logon by other account, you must start iexplore under admin account or logon under admin account, because you will get license after admin account.
Click on Start --> Run --> type cmd and click on OK.
Command Prompt will be opened. Then enter this command.
ipconfig /flushdns
and press Enter.
Now try to access https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/Profile/View
It worked for me...
As I can not add a comment yet to the answer of CBGraham, I've to add this note over here:
The solution described from CBGraham worked for me (Thanks Graham). I had to add an additional link:
https://account.live.com
Then I opened the IE and tried to login to a Microsoft site. I left the IE window open and just clicked once again on the VS to login. Then it worked for me. Even with strong restrictions on the IE settings. While I'm surprised why someone should set down his security settings, just to register VS.

User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions

I am trying to access the report manager url for SSRS. But, I keep on getting the error below -
User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I tried to run my browser as admin as described here - User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8
with no success. I also don't see the 'site settings' on top-right corner as mentioned by so many people. Also, I cannot go through the pain of reinstalling SQL server all over again. I don't want to disable UAC.
I am unable to do anything because of this problem.
How do I fix this problem?
This solution is for Internet Explorer. I don't know how it can be done for firefox or chrome.

See the solutions by Chirag Shah. Follow only up to step 13. I could not follow Step 14 because I found no home dialog box.
In the steps Chirag talks about some URL's. I don't really understand the meaning of any of those URL's. So, I used the URL under "Report Manager URL" in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". It was
http://localhost:8080/MyReportServer.
The 8080 is a port number.
Once you finished this, go to the link below and follow all the steps -
http://www.soheib.com/technical-knowledge/sql-server-2012-reporting-services-uac-user-access-control/
In the 7th step, I saw a lot of check boxes. I selected all of them.
Finally, I can rest in peace. Hope it works for you too.
Also, when making the accounts described in the above link, you might see "BUILTIN\Administrators" account. Ignore it - thats what i did.
**END OF POST**
Steps taken from Chirag Shah's post -
Configure the report server for local administration. To access the report server and Report Manager locally, follow these steps:
Start Windows Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click Security.
Click Trusted Sites.
Click Sites.
Under Add this Web site to the zone, type http://ServerName. If you are not using HTTPS for the default site, click to clear the Require server certification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
Click Add.
Repeat step 7f and step 7g to add the http localhost URL, and then click Close.
Note This step enables you to start Internet Explorer and open either the localhost or the network computer name of the server for both the Report Server application and the Report Manager application.
Create role assignments that explicitly grant you access together with full permissions. To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports. If you use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP2, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$InstanceName
i was receiving blank page after i was logging exactly 3 times on my report server URL.
i've Turn Off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. On different OS's it is in different location. find the location and turn it off.
I hope this will help you.

Error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\997da2c.rbf

I am facing a peculiar problem; I am creating a setup.exe in Installshield 2008 Primer Edition and install the setup in a laptop which has the Operating System Windows XP Professional.
The setup runs fine and install all the files successfully but when I click the Uninstall icon during Uninstallation process the below error will appear
Product: [Product Name] -- Error 1310. Error writing to file:
C:\Config.Msi\997da2c.rbf. system error 5. verify that you have access
to that directory.
Though I have surfed and got couple of answers like Unregister the msi engine and again register it that is:
msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver
By unregistering and reregistering the server will solve the right now; but after a couple of days the popup starts appearing again.
Some sites say the problem is that proper access rights are not given; I have cross-verified in the laptop also the user is having full control to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users folder.
One more point I need to make: I am unable to simulate the above problem for desktop systems. How can I solve this issue?
Right click on the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
I have faced error 1310 and I think error 1310 is one of the common error.
Click Start.
Click the arrow button next to the Shutdown option.
Select Log-Off option.
Wait till the active user account is logged-off.
Select the administrator user account, enter valid password and log-in to your computer.
Re-start the installation program.
