Desktop installation:

To install NPGeoMap on a desktop computer, double-click the installation file "NPGeoMap_v2.5[...].qar" (QlikView v. 11.2 SR5 or higher must be already installed). QlikView will open and automatically and install the ".qar" file in the correct folder. A ".qar" file is simply a ZIP file with a ".qar" extension. QlikView will copy the file into the current user directory:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\ Objects

All NPGeoMap functions are now ready for use. If problems are experienced with automatic installation (no user permission, etc.), the installation will need to be carried out manually. Rename the ".qar" file into a .zip file and extract as described above.
Make sure that the relevant paths are visible in Windows Explorer:

QlikView Server installation:

To install NPGeoMap on a QlikView Server, proceed manually as described above. Rename the ".qar" file into a ".zip" file and extract it into the following folders:

Windows Server 2008:
C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects

Windows Server 2003:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects INSTALLATION

Change installation directory:

QlikView extensions can also be installed in an alternate directory on the server, in this case the directory settings have to be changed in QMC (QlikView Management Console). If a QlikView Local Client is installed on the same PC, where QlikView Server is installed (for development purposes, etc.), it is possible tell QlikView Local Client to use the same path as QlikView Server (see above) for the NPGeoMap extension.

This setting can be made with the following steps:

oIn QlikView Local Client click on Help About QlikView
the following screen will appear:

click to expand

oRight-click the QlikView Logo, set the ExtensionUseServerFolder string to value "1" and confirm by clicking on Set - QlikView Local Client will now use the same directory as QlikView Server for the extension. This ensures that local environment functions with the same version as QlikView Server.

oTo test whether the installation has been successful, open the demo version available on www.npgeomap.com.
If all map objects are displayed, NPGeoMap is installed correctly.
