  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Cashbook


 

 

ANSWER ID:33070

When you install Cashbook, it installs in two different folders. If you are experiencing problems installing, it is possibly because a part of an old install is still present in one of these folders.

During a standard install the files are set as follows:

  • The program files are installed in the following location on your C drive: C:\Program Files\MYOB\Cashbook
  • The data files are installed in the following location on your C drive: C:\Users\Public\Data\MYOB\Cashbook
