About this task

For Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems:
  • Click Start > Programs > HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE to start Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE.

If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for your product is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, you can run the product only as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click the program shortcut, and click Run as administrator.
Note: For Windows, the Program Files directory is usually virtualized in order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround is not compatible with your product. If you selected an installation location or shared resources directory in the path C:\Program Files\ and you do not want to require running your product as Administrator, complete one of these steps:
  • Reinstall your product and any other programs that sharing the same installation location, and select an installation location that is not in the path C:\Program Files\.
  • Reinstall your product and all Software Delivery Platform product packages (regardless of their installation location), and select a shared resources directory and installation locations that are not in the path C:\Program Files\
For UNIX™ operating systems:
