Nothing happens when I insert the AccountRight CD
You can install AccountRight by double-clicking the setup.exe file located on the installation CD.
To do this:
Insert the CD into the computer's CD drive.
Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard. The File Explorer window appears.
Click on your CD drive. In the example below, the CD drive is the D drive (D:). On the right hand side of the screen, you'll see the contents of the CD.
Double click the file named setup.exe.
Follow the onscreen prompts to install AccountRight.
I can't install AccountRight - a message advises that it's already installed. But it isn't!
If you've previously uninstalled AccountRight, some parts of it might be left behind which is preventing AccountRight from installing. This can be fixed using the "Fix it" tool provided by Microsoft. For more info, see Fixing issues uninstalling AccountRight v19.
I need to install AccountRight (via CD) across a network but not all computers have a CD drive
If you're unable to download AccountRight from my.MYOB, you can install your software by using the CD drive on another computer in the network.
First, make sure the CD Rom drive is shared as follows:
Windows Vista and later
On the computer which has the CD Rom drive, simultaneously press the Windows and E keys. The Computer or Explorer window appears.
Right-click the CD Rom drive and choose Properties.
Click the Sharing tab then click Advanced Sharing.
Select the option Share this folder then click Permissions.
Select the Allow option for Full Control.
Click OK then click OK again.
Windows XP
On the computer which has the CD Rom drive, simultaneously press the Windows and E keys. The Windows Explorer window appears.
Right-click the CD Rom drive and choose Properties.
Click the Sharing tab and select the Shared As and Full Access Type. See our example below.
On the computer without a CD Rom drive, go to your network list and select the machine with the CD Rom drive (you should see a folder representing the shared CD drive), for example it might be named 'D'. If you open this folder, you will be able to access the setup.exe file. Double-click on this file to install the file across the network from the CD on one machine to your desired destination on the other machine.
Unable to uninstall or reinstall AccountRight
Some installation issues can be resolved by running a "Fix it" utility tool provided by Microsoft. This tool, freely available from the Microsoft website, diagnoses problems that can prevent installing and uninstalling programs on your computer. This tool also assists with programs that will not uninstall correctly and programs blocking installation of new programs.
