Trying to upgrade my Accounts Premier 2016 to 2017 but keep getting cut off by the 'Installation Interrupted' message soon after entering my IKC.

I have closed all applications/programs, disconnected from the internet, and disabled my firewall and virus protection as directed.  After subsequent attempts, I have also stopped the Print Spooler service, but that didn't help either.

I'm operating Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1, have plenty of RAM an space on my HDD.

Can anyone help???

    Hi Ron,

    Could you give this a try -

    Reboot your PC and then start installation (without opening your current 2016 program) or alternatively, check that no Reckon Accounts processes are running in your Task Manager prior to commencing installation. Basically just want to ensure that no processes are currently running while attempting the new installation.

    Rebooted and stopped the following services:

    • Print Spooler
    • QuickBooks Database Manager Service
    • QuickBooksDB25

    but still get 'Installation Interrupted' after it appears to install Microsoft Runtime Library.

    Cheers for that Ron,

    Do you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 switched on? If not, can you please activate it with the steps below and let me know if there is any change?

    1.    Control Panel > Programs and Features

    2.    Turn Windows features on or off

    3.    Scroll down the list to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 and tick the box.

    4.    Click OK to save and exit.

    Hi Rav,

    Unfortunately the box was already checked for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 ...

    No worries Ron, thanks for checking.

    Really sorry this isn't going as smoothly as it should but I do have another suggestion to try.. can you please try installing in Selective Startup mode?

    Hi Rav,

    I don't understand what I just did with this 'Selective Startup', but it worked.

    Huge thanks for your help with this.
