Reckon Accounts Home and Business does not finish installing

sterrill

Hi, I have downloaded my new 2021 Reckon Accounts Home and Business. The installation wizard gets to a point then goes no further. I have tried 3 times. One time it totally locked up my PC. Any advice welcome.

Hi, even though the wizard did not finish, the software is there an appears to work ok.

Hi @sterrill

This sounds like a strange one. Glad to hear its working ok now but just out of curiosity, can you recall if there were any prompts or pop-ups that may have been opened in the background and awaiting action/acknowledgement at the time the install wizard stopped?

I had this problem with an earlier version.

These are the solutions i found. 1 worked on some computers and 2 worked on others.
