QuickBooks

[KRPGroup]

Does anyone have any suggestions to install QB on a PS4 server.
I have some of the older versions that are running fine, but the newer 2005+ are giving me some grief. Every user that logs on has to register the program.

Any suggestions or instructions on how to get QB to run properly would be appreciated.

A suggestion, works sometimes with applications that do this.

Install using add remove programs. Re-boot.

Use the "Change user /install" command and run quickbooks and register.

Then use "change user /execute" and then try it as a user.

VITAL.....make sure you are the only user on the system when you use these commands, and do it at the console too.

Vera Noest is a MS VIP, and provided this information on her site. It works like a champ, but you must follow the steps exactly as she has detailed, or it just won't work for you.

1. perform a normal installation of QuickBooks (in install mode!)
2. reboot
3. enter install mode again (change user /install), start QuickBooks and activate it by entering the registration code (this is a crucial step, and must be performed immediately following the reboot
4. go back to execute mode (change user /execute)
copy the %systemroot%\Intuit folder into each users %userprofile%\Windows folder
5. create a Quickbooks Users group
6. add your users to this group
7. give the group Full Control to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intuit\QuickBooksRegistration
8. give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.QPG
9. give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\obja.obja
10. give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Quickbooks.application
11. give the group Modify rights to the Program Files\Intuit\Quickbooks Pro folder
12. Also make sure that clients use short names for printers if they need to print to a redirected local printer. Quickbooks cannot handle long printer names. You will get an "assertion failure" error message if the name is too long.

The program runs fine now but it seems anyone who uses it needs to go through the registration process?

They should not have to do the registration process.
