Unable to open QV help file


Hi Gurus,

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am unable to open QlikView help from my Desktop personal edition. I have downloaded version 11.2x. up on clicking F1, QlikView.help window open and I can see Contents, Index and Search tabs on left hand side but on right hand side pane everthing is blank...

I have checked the QV set up files and all the language files are installed. Any ideas please?

Thanks

Ravi

Possibly a case of re-installing is required...

Hi,

What version of Qlik with build number you use, and can you tell me what version of your OS you use?

If OS is not supported consider installing Qlik on supported os.

If it it supported re-installing could be the option.

Thanks Graeme,

I have tried that option. Still no luck.. other applications are working fine with F1 just to rule out if there is any problem with my PC...

As they are "web pages" from the local install - maybe check your Internet Options that the htm pages are not being blocked in the security settings.

Thank you so much ashfaq_haseeb‌ !!

I don't know what crazy idea got into Qlik devs to remove the help file from QlikView, it now opens in a normal web page.... but many times one isn't in a reliable connection and really need this kind of help... it should have an option to revert to original help file

Thanks again!
