Hi.

I also get this problem when I try the new version (1.7.1) of the QDF? Am using version 1.7.0 right now.

Hi Walter,

I had the same problem. It was solved by deleting the "QlikDeploymentFramework.exe.Config", which is then regenerated upon runnin the deployment tool for the first time.

BR,

Michael

Thx, try the new upload from GitHub, where we replaced the .config file

Release Qlik Deployment Framework · QlikDeploymentFramework/Qlik-Deployment-Framework · GitHub

Regards

Magnus

Hi, Ive updated the .config removing everything not needed. There are two lines that need to be in (Example and shared_folders) that's why i'm not that keen on removing .config completely.

Release Qlik Deployment Framework · QlikDeploymentFramework/Qlik-Deployment-Framework · GitHub

Btw, I have no problem opening regardless of config file that's why it's been difficult to figure out the problem.

Regards

Magnus
