QvConnect64.exe and QvConnect32.exe are not digitally signed and cannot launch in restricted environments only allowing digitally signed software. 

The EXE created in the APPDATA\Roaming directory is not digitally signed. 


Environments:

QlikView Desktop 12.20 any previous versions
QlikView Desktop 12.40 



Resolution:


This is working as intended. However, a feature was introduced that allows for the configuration of a different temporary path.

Open the settings.ini file of the QlikView Desktop client. 

  • This is located in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView
  • Add the following line:
    QVConnectFolderTmpPath=C:\YourFolder\
  • The line should be added between the [Settings 7] section and the [Authentication] section.
  • Save the file.

After this, the qvconnect32.exe or qvconnect64.exe will be copied to the specified folder.

This functionality is available beginning with:

QlikView November 2017 (12.20 SR 7)
QlikView November 2018 (12.30 IR)
QlikView April 2019 (12.40 IR)

 

Cause:


Each time that QlikView is executed it overwrites the "QvConnect" files in the folder C:\Users\ <USER>\AppData\Local\Temp\QVConnect\ 
QlikView use the QvConnect files located in the folder C:\Users\ <USER>\AppData\Local\Temp\QVConnect\to configure the db connection.
This .exe is not signed.
