QlikTip #21: Running QlikView 8.5 and QlikView 9 side by side

Just a very short (very, very short) tip today.

I was asked how one could run QlikView 8.5 and QlikView 9 one one system …

That’s absolutely no problem.

During the installation of QlikView 9 Desktop (when having QlikView 8.5 already installed) just choose another installation path as suggested (e.g. C:\Program Files\QlikView_9 instead of C:\Program Files\QlikView) and these two versions will run on one system without conflicting each other.

That’s all …

Note: This works for me on Windows 20003 Server, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7
