Distribute Qlikviewplugin through GPO.

[#1]

Goodmorning,

Because of the need of install/update the Qlikview-plugin om 30+ workstations and laptops every time our QV-server gets updated (on the 3rd of September, It'll be upgraded to 9.0 R5, ), I'm curious about the possibility to use GPO for this. I haven't done this earlier, so it's a little bit new for me (the update of the plugin was done earlier by hand, but I'm a little bit tired of doing this).

2 Questions right now:
Does Qlikview have a ready-to-use msi-installationpackage for the plugin? I only got a 'by hand' installer (.exe) now, what I can't use for distribution through our network.
Is there anyone who have this idea already working? I googled a lot yesterday, but found nothing regarding this question (asked it also on Twitter, but @Qlikview did point me to this forum).

Well, maybe there will be more questions later, but this is it for now 🙂

Thanks for reading (and maybe answering) this!

Hi,
in the "Qvs Reference Manual.pdf" guide present in the QVS documentation installation folder, Appendix D page 335, you may find step by step instructions for the distribution of Plugin thru an Active Directory GPO.
You may find the MSI + MST packages in the QVS installation folder "\Server\QvClients\QvPlugin", hope help.
Regards
corrado

To answer your queston, yes, there is a .msi available for the IE Plugin.

You can use the .msi to distribute via network log in script.

You can find the .msi at-

C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QvClients\QvPlugin\QvPluginSetup.msi

Thanks for helping me out. Someone on twitter gave me also the "Automating QlikView Plug-In Installation.pdf", so the question is resolved.

Both marked as verified.
