I’ll help you resolved this, @tkfitzsimmons.
There are several causes of this error you’ve encountered. It can be a system file corruption, or the Microsoft .NET Framework installation is corrupt.
QuickBooks Desktop uses Microsoft programs to run web-based apps. Once the .NET Framework has an issue, QuickBooks may not work properly.
In more severe circumstances, a clean install or repair install can help you. You can download the QuickBooks Tool Hub, then use the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool to get this resolved. Here’s how:
- Close QuickBooks.
- Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
- Save the file.
- Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
- Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
- Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
- In the tool hub, select Installation Issues.
- Select QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. It can take up to 20 minutes.
- Restart your computer when finished.
