ACT (Application Center Test) 是一個 Windows 平台上很好用的壓力測試工具，我經常會使用它來對伺服器進行上線前測試，在 VS.NET 2003 的環境安裝之後就有這個好用的程式可以使用了。最近的一次測試中，我並不想在執行測試的機器上裝 VS.NET 2003，所以在網路上找了一些方法，發現有人用 Register Monitor 花了一整天的時間來找出 Workaround，以下就是方法:
Pre-requisite: Internet Explorer 6.0
Steps by step instructions:
*Copy the C:\Program Files\Microsoft ACT directory from you dev PC to the same directory on the remote machine
*Create the Act.Reg and Register.cmd files below
*Execute Register.cmd
*Create a local user: ACTUser with the “User” rights
*Set the Identify of the following COM objects to ACTUser (using dcomcnfg):
– Application Center Test Broker
– Application Center Test Controller
*Give full control to ACTUser on the following WMI namespace using “Computer Management”: Root/CIMV2/Application/MicrosoftACT
== Save as Register.cmd ==
c:
cd “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ACT”
regedit -s act.reg
for %%i in (*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %%i
ACTBroker.exe -regserver
actcontroller.exe -regserver
ACTRegMof.exe -i “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ACT\actnamespace.mof”
ACTRegMof.exe -i “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ACT\actbroker.mof”
ACTRegMof.exe -i “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ACT\actcontroller.mof”
== Save as Act.Reg ==
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ACT]
“AppPath”=”C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft ACT\\”
“ProductCode”=”{E05F0409-0E9A-48A1-AC04-E35E3033604A}”
“Feature”=”AppCenter_Test_for_VS.NET”
“Version”=”1.0.0536”
在 WMI namespace 的設定部分，執行 wmimgmt.msc，在 Property -> Security 的部分加入使用者 (ACTUser)
真應該找個時間用 NSIS 來包一個安裝檔才對。
