Hi All- when I try to record an web application in Chrome through Load runner 11.52 the webpage tunes unresponsive. But when i try to access manualy in chrome browser it works fine. Pls share ur ideas. thank u in advance
 
The root of your problem is in your answer and your foundation skills in architecture. VUGEN and associated recording technologies are 32 bit components and live in the wow64 subsystem on windows, which allows for the execution of 32 bit code on 64 bit windows by resolving the differences between those 32 bit apps and the 64 bit operating system . Your version of chrome runs natively. The sockets recorder runs in the 32bit subsystem so you are asking a 32/bit app to control a 64 bit app and pass all of the data back though the 32/bit subsystem, reverse thinking the calls from 64 bit to 32 bit. This is the root of why the admonition on recording 64 bit apps in the release notes Get a 32 bit version of a browser to record. Some people have found success in using the proxy mode recorder because as a gateway this exists on a socket at the top of the OSI stack, resolving TCP communication instead of resolving internal operating system messages . Best solution I have found is to spin up a clean copy of 32 bit windows inside of a desktop based virtual machine. Install vugen and the app you intend to record. Nothing else. This provides for a nice controlled recording environment all with a 32 bit toolchain
