NPrinting External requests - Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion

[#1]

We have a Qlikview application from where we need to trigger an NPrinting job. I've used External requests as suggested here but I get a windows error as a result. The full log from the last try:

This has happend for 2 different Qlikview applications (2 different jobs in NPrinting). It works if I trigger the schedule from the Nprinting Designer.

At first I thought that it might be because the applications had file access macros, but I removed the macros from the "WebMacro test" application and it still doesn't work

Where can I find a more verbose log?

Has anyone else had any similar experience?

Best regards,

Hello Carl-Fredrik,

Hope this helps

Re: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion

I have also added the fix that I applied for the similar issue in above thread. Let me add that here as well if that helps.

1. Open task manager.

2. Locate if any QV.exe process running through the same account (Nprinting Service Account) with which Nprinting Service is running.

3. Try to kill that process.

4. Restart Qlikview Nprinting Service.

5. Scheduled jobs should run fine now without the error.

Best,

Hi Hardik!

Thank you for the help! That solved problem. It was a QV.exe process in the background that halted the execution.

Again, many thanks!
