Cause
In one of the cases, company's group policy was set to have powershell in constrained language mode. This restricts Qlik Sense install to execute powershell commands.
Resolution
Disclaimer: This is an undocumented system environment variable from Microsoft, if you do the modification it would be on your own risk.
Create a new System Environment variable named __PSLockDownPolicy and set the value to 0. This will put powershell in FULL language mode.
Re-install or run the upgrade again.
See this blog for more details.
