Scalability Tools QlikView Test Script Generator Crashing

tguaglia — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I'm working with the QlikView Scalability Tools v. 8 and every time I attempt to start the QlikViewTestScriptGeneratorGui.exe, the application crashes before the GUI opens. I've tried both version 7 and 8 of the test script generator and had the same issue. The truly odd thing is that this is happening on one specific network, across all computers and OS platforms, showing a bad KERNELBASE.dll module. I've used this utility in 3 other network environments without incident. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

The Windows Event Viewer logs two errors each time the application crashes, shown below:

Props to Sebastian Fredenberg: Crushed It!

Thanks for the tip on unblocking the QVScriptGenTool.zip file in Windows before using unzip. That fixed the .exe crashing issue.

Hi Darius,

We have seen that error before. If you use windows built in unzip functionality you need to unblock the zip file first ((properties -> unblock). Alternatively unzip the package with with another tool (for example 7zip).

That should do it, if not you could try and update to latest .net version.

Cheers

As a Shortcut, change the Path of $ExtractFolder to where you have extracted the files and this will recursively unblock any files that are blocked.

$ExtractFolder = "C:\temp\scalabilitytools-4.2.1"

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path $ExtractFolder\|Unblock-File
