Powershell version 4 or later is required to install Qlik Sense

Installation of Qlik sense fails with the message:

Powershell version 4 or later is required to install Qlik Sense

Content:

Antivirus Software

Antivirus software can interfere in the installation process. Disable scanning temporarily and attempt to launch the installer again.

Execute the installer locally

If the installer was initially executed from a shared drive, copy the installer to a local drive location. Execute the installer again.

Verify that the correct PowerShell version is installed or being recognised

What is the result of executing this from an MS-DOS command line (not from a PowerShell command line)?

cd C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
powershell.exe $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major

It should return a 4 or 5.

Next, try this command from a new MS-DOS command prompt:

cmd /c "C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -command $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major

If this command fails, a security policy may prevent the installer from running a check for the PowerShell version. Such as by blocking the -command paramater.

A custom script is executed at PowerShell start

When installing or upgrading Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed, several unsigned PowerShell scripts are executed. If your company has a policy only allowing the execution of signed scripts, you will have to bypass this policy during installation or upgrade.

Hi Sonja,

Yes I have gone through all the steps.

As you can see in the screenshot as well like powershell 5++ version is running.
