qlikscalability tool crashes

[Anonymous]

I was trying to execute Qliksense scalability tool on the QlikSense server and it crashes as soon as it starts with the error shown below.

The .NET version installed here is 4.5.51650

Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Without going in the error, in general you should run the scalability tool somewhere else out of the Qlik Sense box.  It affect the performance you want to measure simply  e cause you'll measure the server workload combined with all the clients together on the same server. 

In a real test scenario you have multiple servers where the scalability tool runs, each simulating a limited number of clients (depending on the box performance)

Did you unblock the zip file before extracting?

I might have missed that, I'll try and mark the answer right if it works.

Thanks Vincent point noted.

Unblocking the ZIP file and then extracting solved the problem, but we will run it from another server to avoid any conflicts.
