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.
Both patches to support IE8.0 (qtpweb_00037.exe) Windows 7.0(qtp_00644.exe) need to be installed for QTP10.0
You might need to check your UAC settings on windows 7.0
Try the below settings:
1)IE: Select the “Enable 3rd party extensions” option under Tools –> Advanced section in IE
2)Open Control Panel, choose User Accounts and Family Safety >> System and Security Settings>>Change User Account Control settings>>Set the control to ‘Never notify’ and restart the computer.
You should now be able to use QTP10.0 on Windows 7 with IE8.
Let me know, if it works.

For recognition of object in Windows 7 by QTP 10.0, I have downloaded the patch QTP_00644.exe.
But While installing it is taking too much time and I do not know the reason.
Is there any other way to install this?

Hello,
I am using trial version for QTP10 with windows7, it is installed just 2 days back,
as seen from many forums, I have installed the two patches:
QTP_00626.exe and
QTP_00644.exe
Also added entry “conhost.exe=0″ in mercury.ini
what to do? It does not open up QTP.
But now while opening the QTP, I am getting the License error saying “the date has been modified on your windows operating system… ” with option of Install License and cancel.
