The QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) fails to start. 

It throws the error:

Failed to create QlikView Engine

Environment:

QlikView 

 

Detailed error:

Failed to create QlikView Engine.. Exception=System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'QlikView.Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{EA899B8A-415E-11D1-934D-0040333C91CC}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)). || at QVBWrapper.Document.b__30(Boolean mutexCreated) || at SolutionGlobal.GlobalMutex.Lock(Action`1 action, TimeSpan timeout) || at QVBWrapper.Document.CreateQVBProcess(ILogBucket logBucket, Boolean createEmptyDoc)

 

Resolution:


Re-install the QlikView Distribution Service on this machine. This can be done by running the repair tool in the install package, or by renaming the Distribution Service folder in C:/ProgramData and starting the service

Check if a later version of QlikView has previously been installed on the machine, it is possible a different dll is mentioned in the registry.
