Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue while upgrading to Qlik Sense May 2025 after performing a PostgreSQL database migration using Qlik Sense PostgreSQL Installer.

During the upgrade, the Qlik Sense Repository (Repository.msi) installation fails with the following error in

MSI (s) (CC:EC) [14:20:42:245]: Note: 1: 1708
MSI (s) (CC:EC) [14:20:42:245]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error

What was the previous version ? Have you used the QPI tool to upgrade PostgresSQL ?

Check this post

Also,antivirus can interfere in the upgrade process. It´s recommended to temporary disable it and enable antivirus after all installed and running.

Hi @Monta_ssir ,

I've maybe found issue so installer couldn't uninstall patch on your QS.

Try first manualy uninstalling patch in control panel (not QS IR just Patch), then run setup.exe as administrator and then run patcher as administrator. Thats the proper way of upgrading that works for me.

Here's log:
