topic Unable to launch .qvw files in QlikView https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-launch-qvw-files/m-p/355986#M1275626 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi guys,</P><P></P><P>I've recently been involved in setting up a new virtual server, running Qlikview 10. Everything was running smoothly until recently I've been encountering a bit of an issue when trying to open .qvw files.</P><P></P><P>I can view the cubes from Windows Explorer, but when I double-click the file, nothing is happening. I've checked the processes in Task Manager, and qv.exe is there but the application fails to launch. Eventually the loading icon stops and I receive a network error. However, I don't believe this to be the problem. I think something might not be right with my Qlikview application.</P><P></P><P>The main reason I have came to this conclusion is that by going to C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView and deleting the settings file, I can then open .qvw files. However, once I close Qlikview and attempt to reopen a .qvw, I receive the same error message and am unable to do anything unless I go back and delete the settings file.</P><P></P><P>Deleting the settings file shouldn't be a daily task. Has anybody encountered anything similar or would have some troubleshooting advice they could offer?</P><P></P><P>Much appreciated,</P><P></P><P>Andrew</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT 2026-01-26T18:19:17Z Unable to launch .qvw files https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-launch-qvw-files/m-p/355986#M1275626 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi guys,</P><P></P><P>I've recently been involved in setting up a new virtual server, running Qlikview 10.
