Hi there, I'm having trouble deploying QlikView Desktop on Windows 11. I tried both with the last release (May 2021) and with an older one, the one a had on the system when upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 (November 2017 SR7).

The result is this

Thanks

P.S. I have already checked this post (https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-Administration/Qlikview-desktop-April-2020-installation-issue/td-p/1718939) but I don't see the "Unblock" button.

Hi @AG-gugelbisolutions,

Try the following 3 steps:

Launch the installation.exe file, but don't proceed with the installation
While .exe is still up, open Windows File Explorer and navigate to %Users%\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\<HexFolderName> (see below example taken from my computer
C:\Users\wmy.QTSEL.000.001.002\AppData\Local\Temp\{7AADB239-62BF-463F-B661-DE715F3991C0}
Find QlikViewDesktop_x64Setup.exe and run this executable

Please report back on the results.

Best Regards

You receive the same Windows Installer pop-up?

The steps I provided are from Qlik Support article https://community.qlik.com/t5/Knowledge/QlikView-Desktop-installer-fails-with-The-Windows-Installer-Is/ta-p/1836856. So if you're still experiencing this issue, suggest that you open a case with Qlik Support.

I found the solution. Basically @Chip_Matejowsky gave me the right direction, but the last instruction was wrong: the file to be executed is not the .exe we find the the temporary folder, but the MSI !

In practice, follow this article.

Thanks
