Installation Errors with QuickBooks Desktop (Error 70, etc.)

There are a couple of common reasons that the Commerce Sync for Desktop installation window hits an error.

Here are our preliminary steps to troubleshoot these:

We recommend that you reboot (turn off and then back on) the computer that you are installing on, prior to installing.
You'll need to be logged into the computer that has QuickBooks and can access the company file, for the installation.
The preferred browsers we'd like you to install with are Chrome or Firefox.
The QuickBooks company file you wish to sync transfers to needs to be open during installation.
You need to be signed in as the Admin and in Single-user mode in QuickBooks for the install to work properly.
Occasionally an anti-virus and/or malware systems block the installation of our app. Disabling these only for the duration of the installation can help.
We often see that if you right-click to "Run as Administrator" both QuickBooks and the Commerce Sync app, you'll see fewer issues during installation.
