Setting QlikView 9 + 2008 + IIS 7 (Tunneling)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi, I install QVS 9 (build:7320) on Windows Server 2008R2 (X64) with IIS7 (IIS 7).

Try to configure it to use tunneling, but i have no luck:

I register qvstunnel.dll as web-extension (IIS > ISAPI and CGI Restrictions > Add...), restart IIS, then server..

But when try to test tunnel (http://localhost/scripts/qvstunnel.dll?testtunnel) IE open file download menu..

Don't know what I did wrong???

Thanks!

First of all, make sure that QvsTunnel.dll has only been defined as an ISAPI and CGI Restriction and not as an ISAPI filter. Next, open an elevated command prompt (Start>Programs>CMD, right click, select run as Administrator) and enter the following:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config "Default Web Site/Scripts/QvsTunnel.dll" "/commit:Default Web Site/Scripts" /section:handlers /accessPolicy:Read,Script,Execute

You should get this message in response:

Applied configuration changes to section "system.webServer/handlers" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site/Scripts/QvsTunnel.dll" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site/Scripts"

That's it--should work now.

saved me twice. . thanks 🙂 its really change that in the first days of the server, i didnt get this error message, and at some point, people start getting this error message. And i didnt change anything on the server. It seems also that all people are tunneling now. So i cant explain why i get this message now, and before not.

Had the same problem for IIS7 / QlikView 11 when using IE plugin together with tunnelling, and this solved my problem! Is there any way to do that through IIS7 GUI?

No way to do that through the UI as far as I know
