Method 2: Modifying the Settings

 

  • Restart your computer.
  • Log in as the “Administrator” to your system.
  • Navigate to the program path you selected during installation.
  • Right-click the “Program folder” to open it.
  • Select “Properties” or “Sharing and security” (Microsoft Windows XP) (Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8)
  • Go to the “Sharing”
  • Following that, select “Permissions” (Windows XP) or “Advanced Sharing” (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10), and then “Permissions.”
  • Choose “Everyone” from the Group or click in the username box.
  • On the Full Control Line, check the “Allow”
  • Select “SYSTEM” from the Group or click the username box now. On the Full Control Line, select the “Allow”

 

If neither of the first two options are available, proceed as follows:

 

  • Select “Add” from the menu.
  • Enter the missing group into the search bar (Everyone or SYSTEM)
  • Select “Check Names” from the menu.
  • Choose “OK”
  • After that, give this new group “Full Control” and select “OK.”
  • Select the “Advanced” button after clicking the “Security”
  • Check “Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object” in the “Change Permissions”
  • Select “OK”

  • To save your changes, click “OK.”

 

We are hopeful that this will put an end to the issue. If that didn’t work, try the next possible methods.

 

Method 3 : Windows updates

If you need to upgrade Windows, it frequently fixes installation issues with QuickBooks on its own.

 

  • Visit the Microsoft website to read articles about “how to manual update”
  • Follow the steps to update your Windows version.
  • Once the updates are complete, restart your computer.
  • Open QuickBooks and the company file if you were able to launch it before the issue.
  • Try reinstalling QuickBooks Desktop if necessary. Continue to method 4 if it still doesn’t work.

 

Method 4: Manually fixing Windows components

 

  • You could attempt to fix particular Windows components, but you’d need to be an IT specialist or Microsoft expert to do so.
  • You can attempt to fix the Microsoft MSXML or Microsoft.Net framework.
  • You’re good to go if you can operate QuickBooks. If not, proceed to method 5.

 

Method 5: Run QuickBooks Desktop in Safe Mode

 

  • The installation may be prevented by certain third-party applications, such as antimalware software.
  • Try installing QuickBooks Desktop when Windows is in Safe Mode to avoid that.
