Auto install IE plugin

Hi again

Can I set the system up so that if a user clicks a link to a qlikview report and don't have the IE plugin installed they automatically get the option to do so from the server?

Thanks

Hi Karl

The above method didn't worked for me. We have Qlikview 9 server sr3. And i am trying to give user an option to install plugin if they dont have.

I did the following :

Renamed the opendoc.htm to any other name (opendocnoplugin.htm)

renamed the opendoc_fix.htm to opendoc.htm and uncommented the <object> tag.<object> tag is having classid,version attributes.

Can you suggest if any thing more needs to be done?.

Regards,

Preena

This very nice discussion..I have a similar required to this.When the user is not having the QV Plugin we need to display 'Don't have QV Plugin Installed.Contact Help Desk'.

I treied renaming Opendoc.htm and Opendoc_Fix files.It's prompting for 'Installation of the QV Plugin'.Instead of prompting for 'Installation' can we show the user defined message as mentioned above.

Pls let me know your thoughts and advice me what changes I have to do...

You can edit the opendoc.js file in the C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewPlugin folder (it is in version 10, version 9 folders names could be a bit different). Locate those lines of code in the beginning of the file:

document.body.innerHTML =
'<object classid="CLSID:6E1BAAF6-ECB9-4505-86C1-5D04467B02CC" width="100%" height="100%" > ' +
' <param name="AutoScan" value="-1"> ' +
' <param name="SRC" value="' + url + '"> ' +
' <div><b>QlikView Analyzer for Microsoft<sup>&reg;</sup> Internet Explorer</b> is not installed<br>' +
' Download it <a class="stdlink" href="https://community.qlik.com/QvPlugin/QvPluginSetup.msi">here</a> and then refresh your browser</div>' +
'</object>';


Text between the <div> tags is html code to add into the document in case the plugin is not installed (or could not be created due to security settings). You can change that to anything you want to be shown to the users who do not have the plugin.
