Use the Verify Installation test case to install the package on the required operating
system.
Run the application execution tests.
If the application performs as expected, the component was probably installed correctly.
To verify whether a component was installed, open the .MSI, determine its component
GUID, and then search the registry for that component GUID. If the component GUID is
in the registry, then the component was installed.
When you finish the test, select the status for all test items and the overall status of the
test case based on your observation of the installation.

Verify Installation Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
The Verify Installation test case in Test Expert runs the installation on the current
computer so you can verify that the package installs correctly. If you are using Test
Expert on multiple testing computers, you can use this test case to also test Launch
Conditions and OS Conditions on multiple computers.
During this installation, you are prompted to install the package into a virtual software
layer if you have the Software Virtualization Agent installed.
See Installing an Installation Test into a Virtual Software Layer
You are also prompted to create a pre-installation snapshot of the computer. This
snapshot is not necessary to verify any installation tests, but it is necessary to verify
uninstall tests. If you intend to run uninstall tests later, then create the snapshot.
Uninstall tests are not available if a group is open.
When you finish the test, select the status for all test items and the overall status of the
test case based on your observation of the installation.
