Academic ProgramINSTALLING QLIKVIEWIf Microsoft IIS is to be used as web server, it must be installed prior to QlikView Server.Note: If the required Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework is not installed on the target system, it isdownloaded from the Internet and included as part of the QlikView Server installation process.It is recommended not to move folder locations after the QlikView Server installation is complete,since many settings depend on the initial file locations.

If the User AccountControl dialog is displayed, click Yes to allow the program to make changes on this computer.2. Click Next in the Welcome dialog.3.

Select the Service Authentication method: Use digital certificates: Authenticate communication between QlikView servers using digitalcertificates and SSL.

Note that digital certificates are only supported byWindows Server 2008 R2.Use QlikView Administrators Group: Authenticate communication between QlikViewservices based on membership in the local Windows group QlikView Administrators.

Log off from Windows and then log on again, so that group memberships added during theinstallation are updated.Note: It may be sufficient to log off from Windows and then log on again. However, it is recommendedto restart the machine to enable the QlikView Server functionality.

Academic ProgramLOGGING THE INSTALLATIONThe setup procedure is logged when Setup.exe is executed. The log files, QlikViewServerx86.wil for thex86 version and QlikViewServerx64.wil for the x64 version, are stored in the Temp folder of the user (forexample, %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp). Each time an installation is executed, a new file isgenerated, over-writing the previous log file.OBTAINING THE MSI PACKAGEIf the MSI package is needed for the installation, proceed as follows to extract it from the .exe file:1. Start the installation from the .exe file and wait until the first dialog opens.2. Locate the MSI file (often stored with a random name, for example, ed34g.msi) in the Tempfolder in %UserProfile%\AppData\Local (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings onpre-Windows Vista systems).3. Copy the .msi file to another location.4. Exit the .exe installation.5. Install QlikView Server using the .msi file. See Silent Installation (page 95) for information onhow to perform a silent installation. For additional information, see Deploying MSI Packageswith Group Policies (page 129).COMPLETING THE INSTALLATIONAfter successfully installing QlikView Server, a license must be registered in QlikView ManagementConsole (QMC) to activate the installed software.Note: If access is denied when starting QMC, log off from Windows and then log on again, so that groupmemberships added during the installation are updated.Note: Running real-time anti-virus protection on the server degrades the performance of QlikViewServer. It is recommended that the user documents, source documents, log directories, and .pgo filesare excluded from the anti-virus scanning.RUNNING MICROSOFT IISIf Microsoft IIS is used as web server in a Windows Server 2003 (or later) environment, enable ASP.NETto ensure proper operation of the QlikView Server sample pages and the extended functions (forexample, QlikView Server tunnel).Note: To optimize the performance when running Microsoft IIS and AJAX, turn on compression in theweb server.
