To see the returned error, double-click an item and look in the Test Details field on the
Test Item Details dialog box.
Items that fail indicate COM failures, which can happen for a variety of reasons, such as
missing self-registration information, incompatible or missing files, missing licence files
(.LIC), and search paths that are not valid. Make sure that .DLLs or .EXEs for the Class
ID exist, as well as any dependent .DLL files.

Search Locations Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
If Test Expert detects search locations in a package, the Search Locations test case
appears. This test verifies that search locations defined within the package exist and are
accessible. It does not verify the presence of the package's source files.
Search locations represent locations the package will search for source files if the
installation is run in maintenance mode. In Windows Installer Editor, you can view
search locations for a package in Installation Expert > Search Locations page.
This test is run automatically by Test Expert. Because the accessibility of shared network
locations often depends on user privileges, this test case should be run while users of
limited privileges are logged on.
To run the test case
1. Select the Search Locations test case in the left pane of Test Expert.
All search locations installed by the package are listed.
2. Mark the check boxes of the search locations to test.
3. Click Execute.
Test Expert examines the search locations, tries to access each, and then marks
each test as either passed or failed.
When the tests are finished, the dialog box closes and the statuses are displayed in
the Status column.
4. Select the overall status of the test case in Status of Test Case.
