This QuickBooks Pro Error can be caused if there are other versions of QuickBooks not running properly in the background.

This can also happen after installing or uninstalling something which requires a restart.

Also, this error can occur when installing into an encrypted or corrupted folder. I would recommend attempting to install the program into another location if at all possible. Errors can cause program lock-ups, slow PC performance, system crashes, computer freezing and more.
