We have received a number of queries in the past asking about QTP support for Windows 7. For some, windows 7 used to work normally while not quite properly for others. Our standard answer was “There is no official word from HP yet”. No more.
Just two days back (7th/Dec), HP announced the support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for QTP10. (Though there is no such information about the versions of QTP prior to 10.0) You would need to download this patch (requires HP support login). More details about this patch are available on HP support site.
To be updated on such news, you can subscribe to receive email notification about patch updates from inside your HP support account OR the blog of yours truly.
Thanks Tarun

How is the performance of QTP on Windows 7? Is there any issue with the compatibility?
This patch is not working with the evaluation (demo) version of QTP10. After installing this patch the 14 days license expires immediately
I have installed this patch and I have noticed that QTP doesn’t seem to recognize web based objects. Nothing gonna seem to be added to the repository. Is this because windows 7 uses ie 8? I have even installed the ie8 compatibility patch from HP but problem still persists.
Please help me

QTP 9.2 can also be installed on Windows 7 but you will not be able to run your scripts because QTP 9.2 does not support IE8. I am looking for some solution so that QTP 9.2 works with IE8. Please comment if any one has idea to solve this problem.
Im trying QTP 9.5 on windows 7, getting msg as restart previous installation not completed.
