EA Powertools Service Dispatcher Service Fails to Install

Jump to bottom
Jeff Goldberg edited this page Jun 20, 2017 · 1 revision

In certain installation scenarios, the EA Powertools Service Dispatcher service will not register because of privileges. This could be due to an EA Powertools installer run in a user context that does not have administrator access to the system. To add the EA Powertools Service Dispatcher service manually, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Open your favorite text editor.
  2. Copy and paste the following snippet to the text editor.
sc query "QlikEAPowerToolsServiceDispatcher"

IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (GOTO END) ELSE (GOTO ADDSERVICE)

:ADDSERVICE
sc create QlikEAPowerToolsServiceDispatcher binPath= "%~1" DisplayName= "Qlik EAPowerTools Service Dispatcher" start= auto
sc description "QlikEAPowerToolsServiceDispatcher" "Service Dispatcher for running EA Powertools" 

sc start QlikEAPowerToolsServiceDispatcher

TIMEOUT /T 10

:END

  1. Input the path to the PowerToolsService.exe where %1 appears in the snippet. For example, the default path is C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\EAPowertools\EAPowerTools\PowerToolsServiceDispatcher\PowerToolsService.exe.

  2. Save the file with the name createServiceDispatcher.bat.

  3. Open a command prompt as an administrator.

  4. At the prompt, enter createServiceDispatcher.bat.

  5. Open the Services snap-in and verify the Qlik EAPowerTools Service Dispatcher appears in the list of services.
