I am having trouble installing Reckon Accounts EasyStart 2016 Full Version. I have tried several times but receive the same error message.
I have disabled the anti-virus and restarted after the second failure.
The error reads: The installation was interrupted before Reckon Accounts could be installed.
Hope someone can help point me in the right direction.

    I am running Win 10. I have Reckon Easystart 2013 working on another Win 10 computer. It was upgraded from Win 7. Should it run using compatibility mode?

    Hi Alan,

    Hi Rav, This may have helped but it is too late now :-(
    I ended up moving important files to D: partition and reinstalled Wind 10. The reinstall failed and instead of only C: it wiped the whole HDD! Of course I realized after it had started this action that I should have backed up. Anyway, I spoke with Reckon today as I needed an installation key so that part is working. Is there any way to open backup Reckon Accounts version to get the inforation in them?

    Yes Kevin, it was not a good feeling and I've been going over all the files which disappeared

    Is there any way to open some of the old Reckon files to access the database?
