Hi,

Tax Time again........ I am trying to install Quickbooks but it will not
let me ( I turned off MacAfee - disconnected the net as per QB
instructions. Put in the disk and then when it went to install I got the
message:-
Setup cannot find /windows/command/setup
and then
Quickbooks could not be installed completely

Help!!! its Tax Time!!!!!!

Regards,
Marsden

Re: Vist & Quickbooks

First, are you using a Vista compatible copy of QuickBooks? Check their Web
site for details.

Second, did you try to run the setup program by right-clicking it and
selecting Run as Administrator?
