How to install Salesforce Input and Tableau Output in Designer, in Server Environment

Question

Hi @AlteryxProducts,

I hope someone can help me. I am trying to install the Salesforce Input and Tableau Output in Designer in the Server VM.

When I Run the Designer as an Administrator, the Salesforce Input and Tableau Output tools won't install and no pop up window for installation either.

But if I run the designer not as an Admin the installation continues showing the Tool Installer window. See the screenshot below.

Is there something that I missed for the installation to continue while running it as an Administrator?

I am working on these connectors as part of my use case to run and schedule a workflow in the Gallery. As of this time, we are on a testing phase before purchasing an Alteryx Server License.

Many thanks!

Michael

Hi @Mwatts23 , I went to this link -https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Public-Community-Gallery/Salesforce-Input-Tool/ta-p/877898

selected version V4.2.4 and after downloading it I dragged and dropped the file in my alteryx canvas.

Took around 2 mins to install, please refer to the image below:

It is working for me try following the steps then reopen alteryx again. I hope this works for you!

Thanks!

Hi @Mwatts23 ,

1) open Designer as Admin - if you go to Help->About, it should say "Running elevated"

2) install the connectors by opening them as workflow from the Elevated Designer, i.e. go to File->Open and select the desired yxi file.

this will pop up the same dialogue, but this time with the option to install for All users.
