When running a silent installation, Qlik Sense is installed with no dialogs at all. This means all features, properties and user selections have to be known before performing a silent installation. All setup options that are available in the user interface of the installer can be performed with silent operations.

Environment:

 

The installation can be broken down into three steps.

Step 1: Prepare the installation following the Qlik Sense system requirements.

  1. Set up a shared folder. 
  2. Ensure the folder is shared with the service account.
  3. The service account should be a local administrator.

Step 2: Prepare the configuration file 

This file will be used in the next step and includes all remaining configuration settings. This must be configured for the installation to complete successfully. See Shared persistence configuration file syntax (choose your respective version).

We have attached an example file. You'll need to change 'xxx' to the shared folder network path. Please consider to use hostname or dns name instead of localhost. 

Step 3: Execute the silent installation

Run cmd as an administrator and provide the installation command with the required arguments.

This step will be slightly different from Qlik Sense April 2020 and up in comparison to any earlier versions. 

Qlik Sense April 2020 and later

With Qlik Sense April 2020, an argument was added to the silent install of Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows and Qlik Sense Desktop. All silent install commands must include the 'argument accepteula(1|0)'. The EULA can be found here

The example script to execute a silent install on those versions should follow this pattern:

Qlik_Sense_setup.exe [-silent] {-log "path\filename"} {layout="path"} {accepteula=1|0}{desktopshortcut=1|0} {skipstartservices=1|0} {installdir="path"} {userwithdomain="domain\user"} {userpassword="password} {dbpassword="password"} {hostname="www.machinename.domain.com"} {sharedpersistenceconfig="configfilepath"} {senddata=1|0} {skipvalidation=1|0} {databasedumpfile="path"}

Qlik Sense prior to April 2020

Qlik_Sense_setup.exe -s -l "c:\QlikSense\install_log.txt" userwithdomain="xxx\svacc" userpassword="Password123!" dbpassword="Password123!" spc="xxx\QlikSense\spc_Central_sample.cfg"
