For those of you who have successfully installed
Mercury's Test Director, and have it die suddenly, you need to check the IIS/NTFS permissions. (
Note, for those of you asking questions, you should read all four pages of comments - there are various questions and answers given throughout the comments, and you will be able to get your answer quicker than waiting for someone to see your question)
Test Director uses the IIS IUSR_SERVERNAME user by default, and if you haven't set your permissions correctly on your directories, this user will not have access to the files.
To see if this is the problem or not, go to the IIS Manager and the TDBIN directory, then choose directory security (make sure it is on anonymous access only) and edit the anonymous user to be the local Administrator account (type in the password).
Then try accessing your server again. If this works, then you know it is a permissions issue, and you should probably go change the anonymous user back to the IUSR_XXXX account, and fix the directory/NTFS permissions to allow the IUSR_XXX user access to the necessary Test Director directories.
For the record/search engines:
The error I got when I had this problem was:
Error in parameter: [TDsrvURL]
Error: Server is not initialized
Press OK to continue or CANCEL to close application
Not the most intuitive error message in the world

When you face Problem like:
FULL TEST DIRECTOR option
progress bar like Download web interface in progress... Download user interface in progress.... Download Test Run Scheduler in progress... Download Execution Flow in progress... and
Do this thing:
From the TestDirector 8.0 CD-ROM, copy the files and convert as
CD-ROM File: TDClientDownLoad
ExpCtrls.dll; ExpHooks.dll; OTAReport.dll;
OTAXml.dll; SiteAdmin.ocx; SRunner.ocx; TDClientUI80.ocx; WebTDClient80.dll; wexectrl.exe; XGO.ocx; SAClient.dll;
TDComandProtocol.exe; TDInstancemanager.exe
After copying the files, change their extensions accordingly :
"dll" -> "lld"
"ocx" -> "xco"
"exe" -> "xxx
I hope this give you solution with this problem....

Hi,
I changed the permission of TDBIN as read/write/execute by setting permission of folder properties. But still TD is not working, it shows "Server is not initialized". Even i checked by changing permission from Control Panel-> Administrative Tool ->Local Security Setting ->Local Policy -> Security option -> Enabled Option : Network Access- Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users, but still not working. Did you installed TestDirector on XP? Please let me know what should i do to run the TD.
Thanks & Regards
