Installing QIE on Windows

Run the QIE Windows installer to install QIE to the local machine or upgrade a current version of QIE already installed. When the QIE installer completes, the QIE Service Manager dialog is displayed.

Note

Contact Qvera support for information on downloading the latest QIE installer.

Updating qieLauncher

qieLauncher is the small service wrapper that starts, monitors, and auto-updates the QIE engine. Because it is the mechanism that applies updates to QIE, it cannot update itself. Existing systems only receive a newer qieLauncher when it is refreshed manually. Older qieLauncher builds that used Java RMI to communicate with the engine no longer work on Java 24 or later, so a launcher refresh is required before upgrading the JRE past 21.

To refresh qieLauncher on Windows, rerun the QIE installer. The installer replaces the qieLauncher.jar on disk and leaves the rest of your QIE configuration in place.
