QlikSense Desktop cannot installed or upgraded.
When looking at the installation logs a path like STORAGEPATH="\\networkpath\...\Documents\\Qlik is noticed.
Environment:
Qlik Sense Desktop any version
Cause:
Qlik Sense Desktop is a local only-client, and this is by design.
UNC path are not allowed. A Custom installation is chosen, and a network path is picked, the following message will appear:
The default target for the user "My Documents" links has probably been moved to a network share at some point using a procedure like this one: the standard installation will pick this network share and this will produce a failure.
Resolution:
- if it's a new installation, do a Custom Installation and pick a local path on your PC for the Storage
- if it's a an upgrade:
- Uninstall the software
- Perform a Custom Installatio and pick a local path on your PC for the Storage
- Move the files from the previous My Documents network path to the new local one
