This error is usually caused by a BASlink corruption on your computer - and it's easy to fix.
Let's step you through it:
To copy the Setup folder:
- Close AccountRight.
- Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The File Explorer window appears.
Find your BASlink folder. Use the table below for guidance.
If you're using this software version: Your BASlink folder will be here: AccountRight Standard v19 C:\Standard19 AccountRight Plus v19 C:\Plus19 AccountRight Premier v19 C:\Premier19 AccountRight Enterprise v19 C:\Enterprise10 - Double-click the BASlink folder. You will see a Setup and Data folder.
- Right-click the Setup folder and choose Copy.
- Right-click on the Desktop and choose Paste. The Setup folder will be copied to your Desktop.
Now do the same for the Data folder:
- Go back to the BASlink folder (see the table above for guidance).
- Double-click the BASlink folder to locate the Data folder.
- Right-click the Data folder and choose Copy.
- Right-click on the Desktop and choose Paste. The Data folder has now been copied to your Desktop.
- Close AccountRight.
- Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The File Explorer window appears.
Find your BASlink folder. Use the table below for guidance.
If you're using this software version: Your BASlink folder will be here: AccountRight Standard v19 C:\Standard19 AccountRight Plus v19 C:\Plus19 AccountRight Premier v19 C:\Premier19 AccountRight Enterprise v19 C:\Enterprise19 - Right-click the BASlink folder and choose Delete.
- Click Yes to the deletion confirmation message.
Performing a "repair" installation of AccountRight will ensure all the program components you specified during the original installation are in place and working as intended - including the required BASlink components. If the "repair" option isn't available for your software version, you can uninstall and reinstall your software. For help doing this, see our support note Uninstalling and reinstalling your software.
If you downloaded AccountRight:
- Close out of all programs on your computer. This includes disabling any anti-virus software.
- Access the list of programs installed on your computer:
- Windows 8: Right-click in the screen's bottom-left corner and choose Programs and Features.
- Windows 7/Vista: Click the Windows Start button and choose Control Panel then choose Programs and Features.
- Windows XP: Click the Windows Start button and choose Add/Remove Programs.
Click the AccountRight version to be repaired then click Change. In some Windows versions this may appear as Change/Uninstall. The Setup window will be displayed.
"Change" option unavailable?
Instead, you'll need to Uninstall the software, then re-install it using the downloaded installation file. If needed, you can download the installation file from my.MYOB.
- Select the Repair option then click Next.
- Select Finish once the reinstallation is complete.
- Restart your computer.
If you have your MYOB software CD:
- Close out of all programs on your computer. This includes disabling any anti-virus software.
- Place the AccountRight CD into the disc drive. If the installation window does not automatically display:
- Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The File Explorer window appears.
- Double-click your CD-ROM drive (usually the D: drive).
- Locate the file named autorun.exe and double-click it.
- Select Install. The system requirements window is displayed.
- Click Install Now. The InstallShield process will begin and will check the Windows Registry. Once it has searched and found that the software is already installed on your computer, the Setup window will be displayed.
- Select the Repair option then click Next.
- Select Finish once the reinstallation is complete.
- Restart your computer.
You now need to copy the previously saved Setup and Data folders from your Desktop back into the BASlink folder.
