Install QVS 11 SR7 on laptop

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to install QVS 11 SR7 on my 64 bit Win 8 laptop locally.

I created a local user from Computer Management >> Local Users and Groups >> Users >> qvadmin and used .\qvadmin to run services.

.\qvadmin is a member of Qlikview Administrator Group. However I can start only QV Server service and others failed.

Where did I do wrong? Thanks!

Hi Jessica, check the windows log for errors.

Also the logs in : C:\ProgramData\QlikTech

Has qvadmin got the logon as service rights ? see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739424(v=ws.10).aspx

Hi,

I'm not sure but... I guess QMC doesn't work on Win 8.

Best Regards.

Thats not true, you can run on Windows 8.1. I have a QVS server on my own system

On the Reference Manual of v11 SR 7 there is no System Requirements, but from the screenshot below I thought I could install on Win8 (read the bottom)?

You mentioned that "qvadmin" is part of the "Qlikview Administrator Group", however does that group have administrative privileges on your computer? Can you put the "qvadmin" account in the local "Administrators" group, does that work?

Ok, I got it up and running! Here is what I did:

1. Apply domain account to services panel directly.

2. Add the domain account to Qlikview Administrator Group

3. Restart services

Viola! It's working!

Here is the story why I used local account instead of domain account:

During my 1^stinstallation, neither <domain>\<username> or <username>@<domain>.com got through the installation wizard. So I created a local account qvadmin and added it into both Administrator Group and Qlikview Administration Group. The installation finished with the local account and I
restarted the machine. Couldn't get the services to run.

I wonder why local account couldn't work. Thanks all for helping!

However, I still want to know why the local admin failed. Paul Verrette How do I check if qvadmin has the logon as service rights? Thanks!

If this is a corporate laptop, your desktop team is setting security policies. You can can search for "Local Security Policy" (run "secpol.msc" from run or command line). Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.

Here you can see the different policies and what user/group have them (i.e. Log on as a service).

Thanks Lior! I followed the steps and saw both corporate domain account and local account qvadmin from Logon as a service. I suppose that means they both have logon right to run services?

Its possible that your companies corporate security policies might be removing (or adding restricting policies) on certain user accounts or groups. I would compare all the rights for both accounts, it might be that local account also has 'Deny log on as a service'.

Off the top of my head, here are some policies that might be of interest to compare:

Deny log on as a batch job
Deny log on as a service
Impersonate a client after authentication
Log on as a batch job
Replace a process level token

Talked to our IT Support. Both domain and local account could work for QVS on local machine. I didn't successfully add the local account into Administrator group in hence services failed.

Here’s how to get local qvadmin to work:

1. Create a local account and make sure it is in both Administrator Group and Qlikview Administrator Group

2. Use the local account to run services during installation

3. Restart the machine

4. The services should pick up the services automatically

Here's how to get domain account to work:

1. Make sure domain account is in both Administrator Group and Qlikview Administrator Group

2. Here I couldn't get it to work: During installation, neither <domain>\<username> or <username>@<domain>.com passed the installation wizard

3. Manually change the logon as a service to the domain account

4. Restart the machine or services

Basically exactly the same as installing on Windows Server. The only thing didn't work for me is the domain name was not approved by wizard. I am not working in my office but I doubt that's the reason. I would love to know if anyone successfully used a domain account on a local machine. Thanks for everyone's help!

Hi Jessica Tung.

Regarding to :

Paul, I have the manual of v11.20 SR7 but I don't see this page!? What page is this? I am attachingthe manual I just downloaded from Qlik site

Its not in the server reference manual, but on page 3 of the System requirements

The reason the local account works is because you manually assigned it to the services, MS automatically gives this user login as service rights.

When setting the domain account I think you have to be connected to the office, This because the domain credentials have to be validated by the domain controller. Tried it on my system and it's no problem using the domain credentials.
