Hi, I am trying to install the Developer evaluation version of the test suite on a Windows XP, Visual Studio 2008 system that has the latest service packs (updated today in fact). During setup of the 2010.3 version of the product, I hit the error in the title of this thread. I am logged on as the administrator and have full rights. Clicking Retry in the installer results in the same message after about 45 seconds.

I tried to directly start the service by running the control panel Services option, and I received a message that the service started and then stopped and "Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do..."

I restarted the installer with logging enabled, but that did not affect the end result.

In Event viewer, I have several errors as follows -

Service cannot be started. System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.serviceModel/bindings: Could not load type 'System.Security.Authentication.ExtendedProtection.Configuration.ExtendedProtectionPolicyElement' from assembly 'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. (C:\Program Files\Telerik\WebUI Test Studio 2010.3\Bin\Telerik.WebUITestStudio.Scheduling.WindowsService.exe.Config line 21) ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Security.Authentication.ExtendedProtection.Configuration.ExtendedProtectionPolicyElement' from assembly 'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

In Visual Studio I now have an error - Package Load Failure - which I cannot copy, but the first part reads Package ArtOfTest.WebAiiSIP.WebAIISIP, ArtofTest.WebAiiSIP, ... has failed to load properly. Application REstart is recommended due to possible environment corruption. ... Once disabled, I am able to run visual studio fine.

I would love to try the product but cannot. For the record, here are the details on my system.

Windows XP SP3, 4 GIG ram,  Visual Studio 2008 Pro, Version 9.0.30729.1 SP, Microsoft.Net Framework Version 3.5 SP1
I run this box without much else, just Visual Studio, so there is plenty of available memory and disk space available.

I am assuming there is a big dependency service that is required, but I have not yet installed, although my system does meet the stated install requirements found at http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/products/system-requirements.aspx. Please help!

Hi Karl,
   Thank you for choosing to evaluate WebUI Test Studio!

Even though the Scheduling service (a Windows service) is included with the installation of WebUI Developer Edition, the actual Scheduling feature is only available in WebUI QA edition. The Scheduling service in Dev edition allows you use Dev edition as an Execution Server. So it's true that you don't actually need it if you don't plan on using the Scheduling feature (again - you need QA for this) . Also Windows Scheduling service is known to cause problems with security policies for some companies. I realize you won't be able to completely understand this explanation since your not familiar with our Scheduling feature. Please check out this blog post - it will shed a little light on the subject:
http://blogs.telerik.com/testing/posts/10-11-18/test_scheduling_basics_faq.aspx

That being said, you're currently trying to install Q3 SP1 (12.13). In our lastest internal build (13.07) installing the Scheduling Service is optional. You can download the LIB here:
http://www.telerik.com/downloads/nightbuildfiles/bacg/Telerik.WebUI.TestStudio.Dev.2010.3.1307.msi
When you start the installation choose "Custom installation" and uncheck "Scheduling Service". Scheduling will be excluded from the installation process and you should be able to install WebUI Test Studio Developer edition without any problems.
 
Let me know how it goes - we'll try to get you up and running ASAP!

All the best,
