Legacy KB ID: 433

Question

Why is my installation of QuickBooks 2009/10 tax table update reporting to be incomplete / not complete with APPCORE.DLL error?

Answer

We have had some reported incidents that when applying SP1 "Tax Table Update", customers are receiving DLL errors when starting QuickBooks or QuickBooks reported an error that upgrading to SP1 was incomplete. This can include:

  • The Dynamic Link library APPCORE.dll could not be found in the specified path
  • Old file does not exists. Unable to apply patch. Program not updated
  • Old file not found. However a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match
    NOTE: After receiving one of the above errors, the following error will appear when you try to open QuickBooks - qbw32.exe - Entry Point not found.
