LoadRunner 9.51 Controller Error

I recently uninstalled the Loadrunner 9.1 Controlller on a machine and installaed version 9.51 on it. I always try to do a COMPLETE install by manually removing any leftover files and cleaning the registry. I was able to get everything loaded. I ran a scenario and at the end of the test (once the stop button is pushed), the following error comes up:

LR 9.51 Controller Error

Here are the details of the error:

Performance Center and Vmware

What is the official word from HP on PC and virtualization? Well, according to KM752992 in the HP Knowledge Base:

New Citrix Project 10/5/09

It has been a while since I created a blog entry. I have started a new LoadRunner project using Citrix. We get quite a few of these projects every year, and we always hope that the more that we do and learn, the easier this kind of testing will get. I guess, in a way, it has. But it seems that it will always be a little aggrivating.

Enabling the new graphs in LoadRunner Analysis 9.51

I have been wanting to check out the new Throughput graphs. HP Support released Knowledge Base Article #KM759621 on August 12, 2009. "How to use the new Throughput (MB) and J2EE/.Net Probe Metrics graphs that were added in SP1 for LR/PC 9.5."

When LoadRunner Agents Crash

The following files are helpful in debugging errors:

1. Agent log file: agent<unique suffix>.log or m_agent_daemon<unique
suffix>. This file is located in the temporary directory of the agent
machine. It provides information about the connection errors.

2. Bridge log file: lr_bridge.log. This file is located in the scenario's temporary log directory (i.e brr_*\log). lr_bridge controls virtual users during scenario execution.

3. Virtual user log files: ScriptName_VuserID.log.
