Be prepared for a Internet Explorer conflict if you are using HP-LoadRunner with Oracle NCA protocol and QTP on a same machine. QTP requires that the option Enable third-party browser extensions under Internet Options > Advanced should be enabled (mandatory while working with Web-Addin)

On the other hand if you try to record a scenario in HP-LoadRunner with NCA protocol the browser will crash just at the place where it launch the applets, the work-around for this problem was to disable Enable third-party browser extensions.!!!

LoadRunner-QTP-Conflict

Can we call this a bug with LoadRunner Oracle NCA protocol? or Am I missing something here?  What do you say?
