If you have performed an installation of the Reckon Accounts software but are not able to actually launch/start/run the program and experience the following:

- the program starts to load and then quickly disappears resulting in the program no longer running

- no error messages are being displayed

The situation may be that a previously failed installation attempt has left behind partially incomplete installation fragments, older files, incomplete registry entry, invalid folder permissions, etc


A community member has experienced that situation and has found that registry entries did not have the appropriate permissions.
