Question

Why do I receive the error - unable to read system registry while transferring data from the QuickBooks data file?

Answer

This can occur if you have upgraded your version of QuickBooks [E.g QuickBooks Pro 2008/09 to QuickBooks Premier 2008/09]

  • Go to My Computer > Local Disk C: > Reckon > Retail Point of Sale Professional 2008-09 Administrator (or Retail Point of Sale Lite 2008-09 Administrator)
  • Locate and double click QBint32.ini
  • QBint32.ini will display something similar as shown below:
     [QuickBooks]
     Version=17\pro
    or
     [QuickBooks]
     Version=17\superpro

In this scenario, if you have upgraded from QuickBooks Pro 2008/09 to QuickBooks Premier 2008/09, you will need to change the text from pro to superpro.

Below is a list of QuickBooks version:

QuickBooks Plus = basic
QuickBooks Pro = pro
QuickBooks Premier = superpro
QuickBooks Premier Accountant Edition = accountant
QuickBooks Enterprise = bel
QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant Edition = belacct
