Question

When running the installation of QuickBooks 2003 the following error appears - msvbsm60.dll is linked to missing export advapi32.dll. How do I install QuickBooks?



 

Answer

The local hard disk needs to be searched for file 'advapi32.dll'. To do this;

1) Go to the Start Menu, select 'Search' and click For 'Files or Folders'.

2) Search all local drives for a file called 'advapi32.dll'.

3) When the results appear there should be one in the C:\Windows\system32 or C:\WINNT\system32 folder (depending on the operating system).

4) Rename any other files that are found in other locations to 'xadvapi32.dll'. To do this right click on the file and select 'rename'.

5) The machine must now be restarted and QuickBooks can then be installed.
