Fix Microsoft .NET Framework, MSXML, and C++ issues using the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool
According to Microsoft, Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) is a set of services that allows applications written in Script, VBScript, and Microsoft development tools to build Windows-native XML-based applications.What does this mean? First, you need to understand what XML is. XML is an almost universally supported way of exchanging documents and data across applications and platforms. In other words, it's a way of organizing information so you can view data easier. However, this only applies to you viewing the data in a Notepad or browser window, not for applications to access them in the background. A good example is how you can open the qbregistration.dat file in Notepad and see the data. Without MSXML, QuickBooks cannot read it.Microsoft has provided a way to interpret the data between the XML document (e.g., qbregistration.dat) and the application (QuickBooks). MSXML reads the XML data in qbregistration.dat and relays it back to QuickBooks Desktop.The following are the common errors you may get if MSXML is corrupted or not installed:Make sure MSXML has been installed on your system correctly QuickBooks had a problem accessing this registration file. Make sure MSXML is installed correctly: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\COMMON FILES\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBRegistration.dat An unrecoverable error has occurred. Exception msxml could not cocreate instance. The install process stays at "Installing MSXML" and does not continue. What is C++ for QuickBooks?The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package contains library files required to run applications developed with Visual C++, the language in which QuickBooks Desktop was written.If a computer does not have the correct version of Visual C++ installed, QuickBooks 2014 and later versions will install it automatically.The following are some errors that may occur if Microsoft C++ component is damaged:Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime Error!
