- AccountRight Server Edition wil try to install in the Public Documents folder, e.g. C:\Users\Public\Documents
If the Documents or Public Documents folder is being redirected to a network location, the AccountRight installation will fail. If folder redirection has been implemented in your network, it has usually been done for a reason. Check with the person who set up your computer or network administrator to see if the redirection can be removed from the Documents or Public Documents folder (depending on which AccountRight edition you're trying to install).

| title | 2. Exclude AccountRight from antivirus software |
|---|
| Antivirus software looks for files on your computer which it thinks shouldn't be there. If your antivirus software doesn't recognise AccountRight or some of its components, it can affect how AccountRight performs. To avoid this, you can exclude some AccountRight files and folders from being scanned. Before adding exclusions, try temporarily disabling your antivirus software to see if it makes a difference to AccountRight's performance. If there's no difference, it's not worth setting up exclusions. If you want to set up exclusions: - Talk to an IT professional who can evaluate your system performance and any potential security implications of adding exclusions.
- Use the information provided below to set up the exclusions. You'll also need to refer to the help in your antivirus software for instructions on adding exclusions. Here are instructions for some popular antivirus software: AVG, Norton360, Kaspersky, Trend Micro, McAfee.
| UI Expand |
|---|
| title | Exclude the MYOB folder |
|---|
| Exclude the MYOB folder If your antivirus software allows folders to be excluded, exclude the following MYOB folder (<user.name> refers to the specific Windows user, so you'll need to add an exclusion to this folder for each person who logs into Windows to use AccountRight). Exclude this folder: C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Programs\MYOB\ |
| UI Expand |
|---|
| Exclude program filesIf your antivirus program allows program files to be excluded, exclude the files listed below (<user.name> refers to the specific Windows user, so you'll need to add an exclusion to these files for each person who logs into Windows to use AccountRight). Exclude these files: C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Programs\MYOB\AccountRight\Huxley.Application.exe C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Programs\MYOB\AccountRight\app-<latest version>\AccountRight.API.AddOnConnector.exe |
If you still receive a message about a failed update after adding these exclusions, check your Internet Explorer settings as described in the next task. |

|---|
| title | 3. Check your Internet Explorer settings |

| Regardless of which internet browser you use on your computer, AccountRight uses a specific Internet Explorer setting to be turned on. Here's how to check that it's turned on: - Close AccountRight.
- Open Internet Explorer (click the Start button and type Internet Explorer then click Internet Explorer.

If you still receive a message about a failed update, check your firewall settings as described in the next task. |
| UI Expand |
|---|
| title | 4. Check your firewall settings |
|---|
| Your computer's firewall keeps your computer safe by monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic. But it might be preventing AccountRight from downloading updates. If you're knowledgeable about your firewall settings, or with the help of an IT person, you can create a rule to allow connections with the domain ar-services.myob.com. Check the help for your firewall program about how to add rules. Just be careful as adding, changing, or deleting rules incorrectly can cause your computer to be more vulnerable or can cause some programs not to work. |
