  6. Follow the onscreen instructions provided by the installer to install QuickBooks tool hub on your system. You can even change the default location where the software is installed.
  7. As soon as the installation finishes, click on finish.

Step 2: Fix installation errors with QuickBooks install diagnostic tool

Now that you have QuickBooks tool hub installed on your system, you can load the QuickBooks install diagnostic tool on your system to easily and quickly scan for and fix installation errors on your system.

Here are the steps to use QuickBooks install diagnostic tool to fix common installation errors:

  4. Choose QuickBooks install diagnostic tool which will scan your system for up to 20 minute in order to identify missing dependencies and damaged files that are interrupting the installation of this accounting software.
  5. Restart your system after the program has completed scanning and fixing the errors.

In most cases, the tool can scan the system within 20 minutes but it may take longer if your system does not have enough memory or processing speed to efficiently run this software.

Step 3: Manually fix Microsoft .NET Framework error

While the QuickBooks install diagnostic tool fixes most of the errors, you still may have to rely on the manual method to fix errors related to both the .NET framework and the MSXML files. Web based applications such as QuickBooks desktop require the Microsoft .NET framework to operate properly. But if the component is missing or damaged, then the program will not be installed on your system.

Here are the steps to fix Microsoft .NET Framework errors on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7:

  1. Exit all the programs that you have opened on your desktop.
  2. Go to the start menu and type in the control panel. Hit enter.
  3. Choose programs and features from the list of provided options.
  4. Click on uninstall a program. Note that even though we are choosing this option you are not going to uninstall any program from your system. Instead we are going to pick the repair or toggle features option.
  5. Click on turn Windows features on or off.
  6. Go to the Microsoft .NET framework and turn it on so that installer can use it to install QuickBooks Desktop on your system.

If the program itself is damaged, then you may have to repair it. To repair the .NET Framework, you can follow the steps given below:

  1. Open the control panel from the start menu.
  2. Click on programs and features then uninstall a program.
  3. Click on Microsoft .NET framework and choose the repair option.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair this dependency.

Once the repair function finishes the process, you should restart your system and then try to install QuickBooks desktop once again on your system. If you want to perform a clean install of the .NET Framework then you can definitely uninstall the program and then download a fresh setup for it to install the program once again.

Step 4: Repair damaged MSXML files

Microsoft XML services are essential for Visual Basic script and Microsoft tools to run an application built using these tools.  if this particular Windows component is damaged then with books text top will throw an error when you try to install or launch at. 

Reasons for MSXML related QuickBooks errors:

  • QBRegistration.dat file cannot be accessed as it’s in the XML format, which can’t run because of damage to MSXML 4 components.
  • Unregistered MSXML (Microsoft XML Parser.)
  • MSXML.dll file is unregistered, missing, encrypted or damaged.

To troubleshoot QuickBooks desktop installation errors caused by damaged MSXML files, follow these steps:

  1. Type in CMD into the Start menu.
  2. Right click on the Command Prompt.
  3. Choose Run as Administrator. Enter authentication details if you’ve logged in with a standard user.
  4. In the command prompt, enter “cd\windows\syswow64”.
  5. In the next line, input “regsvr32 MSXML6.dll” and press Enter.
  6. Launch the QuickBooks desktop setup.

On the 32 bit computers, you skip the 4th step, as the mentioned directory is only present in 64-bit systems. You may require help from a technical expert or accounting software expert to get through this process.

To make sure that the process goes smoothly, we recommend that you install the latest updates for your edition of Microsoft Windows. After updating the system, restart it and then try to launch QuickBooks or the setup for QuickBooks.
