Solutions

Apply the following techniques to counter the QuickBooks installation error on your PC-

Solution 1- Fix the User Account Control settings to safeguard QB installation

User Account Settings stop any application from changing the system configuration, which can be harmful. These settings do not allow the installation of new applications or updates on your PC. You might also have received a confirmation box prompted by the UAC settings when you tried installing QuickBooks. A way to bypass the settings is by turning them off while QuickBooks gets installed on your computer. Use these steps to configure the UAC settings-

1. Open the control panel on your system and click the User Accounts option.

2. Tap the Change User Account Control Settings option located on the left menu.

3. The next window contains a slider to control the UAC settings. Never Notify turns the settings off, and Always Notify turns them back on again.

4. Move the slider to Never Notify and try to install QuickBooks on your PC. Shift the slider to its original place after the installation.

If the software installation fails, even after turning off the UAC settings, try the next solution.

Solution 2- Use the QuickBooks Tool hub

Minor issues are common when QuickBooks runs. Intuit offers a QB tool hub to eliminate them easily. It is a collection of tools specifically designed according to the potential errors that can cause the software to malfunction while running. Go to the QuickBooks website’s Download & Updates page and enter your QB product to download the latest QB Tool hub version (1.6.0.3). Use these steps after the QBToolhub.exe file is downloaded-

1. Double-click on the QuickBooksToolhub.exe file to open it and follow the instructions for installation.

2. Open QB Tool hub after it is completely installed and click the Installation issues option.
