Qlikview Plugin

[QGTFS]

Hello,

After an update of Qlikview to 12.9, the plugin when installed for users, does not persist, it works for the day and the next day is removed, it has been tried manually and through SCCM.

We have not found a reason for the issue.

We wanted to follow afterwards the guide about silent installation:

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-to-install-QVPlugin-or-QlikView-Desktop-...

Yet we don't see the same file structure available and no .msi to copy.

Could you help us figure out what we're missing ? 

Many thanks

Hi @QGTFS,

Qlik doesn't provide a .msi file. You should be able to follow the steps in the How to install QVPlugin or QlikView Desktop silently article to extract the .msi from the IE Plugin installation exe file. As noted in the article, the Plugin installation file can be found in %ProgramFiles%\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewPlugin on the QlikView Server, or you can download the Plugin installation file from the Qlik Products Downloads page.

Hi @Chip_Matejowsky ,

Thank you for your answer. Sorry I was not clear, unfortunately with the plugin the only files we found when we extracted it were:

And no .msi were found in .rsrc folder either. We also tried lookin for it in AppData local temp when triggering the installation (only launching, not clicking anything after) and we could not find .msi there either.

Can you help us see where we went wrong ?

Hi @QGTFS,

In my test environment, I just followed the steps of the previously provided article and can see the QVPluginSetup.msi file.

Did you run the QvPluginSetup.exe installation file so that the files shown in the above screen capture are extracted in the Temp folder?

Once the files have been extracted, I opened Windows File Explore and navigated to %Users%\<my_username>\AppData\Local\Temp, then sorted on date modified and check the folders with today's date. This is where the QvPluginSetup.msi file was located. You could also perform a search in Windows File Explore %Users%\<my_username>\AppData\Local\Temp for "QvPluginSetup.msi.

Best Regards

Hi @Chip_Matejowsky ,

Found it ! Thank you ! The folder was pushed down in the list when ordered by modified date, so I missed it.
