QlikViewDeveloperFramework.exe gives System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 17:59:49 GMT

I got this .NET exception when starting the deploy tool.

It seems to be because the config file QlikViewDeveloperFramework.exe.CONFIG has the lines

	<add key="txtUserDocPath" value="c:\QV-Docs\UserDocs" />
	<add key="txtSourcedocpath" value="c:\QV-Docs\SourceDocs\1.Production" />

and the deploy tool expects those directories to exist.

I fixed it by changing the paths from c:\QV-DOCS\UserDocs and c:\QV-DOCS\SourceDocs to point to my actual paths where my Source and User directories exist.

Thanks for the feedback Paul, will look into this ASAP.

Glad you found a workaround, the deploy tool should create folders when needed.

Best regards

Magnus

Hi Paul, Have released an updated version of 1.3 1 that validates invalid charters in the path.

QlikView Deployment Framework Deploy Tool
This error should now be avoided.

Best Regards
