Qlik Sense installation failure

Hi,

I'm trying to help somebody getting Qlik Sense Desktop to install on his laptop. So far no success.

Things tried so far

  • Run the installer with the Run as Administrator option
  • Disable antivirus
  • Check that the users document folder is a regular folder and not a shared network drive or something like that
  • Custom install with a different installation location (c:\qlik\sense)
  • Tried both the june2017 release and 3.2 SR4

Things seem to go fine until as custom action involving powershell gets executed. After that fails it looks like a rollback is started. Below a part of the log that seems relevant. The full log is attached. I'd appreciate any help.

Hi Gysbert,

Is this a 32-bit OS or 64-bit?  I had faced similar problems earlier when I was installing QS on 32-bit laptop.

Hi Gysbert,

try using the -layout to extract the MSI files (sense, demoapps, connectors) and install the files separately.

I have a similar problem - I cannot upgrade the QS on my machine and this works for me. It even works with user documents on network drive.

The reason is probably different in my case but this should work for you as well - it seems that the installer that extracts the 3 MSI files and runs them is failing.

BR,
