1. Please confirm your Desktop meets the Qlikview desktop install requirements?

2. Confirm the account you are log onto the machine with in an administrator on the desktop.

3. Are there any error in the Desktop's Windows Event logs around the time of the attempted install?

4. Try turning off your antivirus during the install attempt.

Thanks, But still no progress, Getting same error window.
Since I don't have original windows installed in my system, Is that the reason why I am getting this error, But previously Whenever I encountered any error I have solved it I didn't faced any issue with windows OS. 

This time I am not getting any solution to this problem,  This time the solution to the problem occurring during  installation is not available anywhere.

HI @rishav_183 ,

it looks like the installation is run with some missing parameters.
What happens if you try a silent installation by typing Win+R ("Run") and then execute  "C:\PATHTOYOUREXECUTABLE\QlikViewDesktop_x64Setup.exe /v/qn" ?

Cheers!

Hi @Daniele_Purrone 

After executing the command: 

D:\Cognizant_Courses\QlikView\QlikViewDesktop_x64Setup.exe /v/qn

InstallShield Wizard opened and then after around 10 sec it got closed automatically and then nothing happened.

Please help me out...

Thanks @rishav_183 , that's something!

So, the "/qn" flag means "completely silent". So, it might be that the client was installed in the background, without any feedback. Seeing InstallShield Wizard for 10 seconds is exactly what I'd expect. Can you check if the client was installed?
If not, you can try again with "D:\Cognizant_Courses\QlikView\QlikViewDesktop_x64Setup.exe /v" and see what happens there. In this case, you will get to do a prompted installation.

Please note: April 2020 is going out of support in just a few days, I'd recommend using a more recent version instead.

@Daniele_Purrone  Thank You for your time.

Actually what I did is I installed it on someone else's system and then copied and bring the whole Qlikview folder in my system and it worked. I can now use the software.

For now I don't want to run that command to check if it installation is working or not.

I really appreciate your help
