proseries 2020 updates won't load

I have ProSeries Basic.  I loaded it from the DVD and then went online to get the updates.  I keep getting the message that I have all available updates, but I know that can't be true because the 1040 is showing "not final".  I have restarted the computer and the software.  I have "not" uninstalled/reinstalled - I'm hoping there's another easy solution.  I've already started entering client data.  Help please?

I'm able to get to that log - can you tell me exactly what you're looking for?  I'm not comfortable at this point just sending out my files - and I couldn't get that email link to work anyway.  Hope you can still help.


Hi,

You are able to get that file or you are not?  That's our log file that contains detailed information about whatever issues are encountered during install.  With it, I might be able to help. You are welcome to open that file in Notepad to see what's in it - most likely I just need whatever was the most recent error in there. 

 proseries_engineering@intuit.com is just an email address - this forum turns it into a link. Just ignore that - you'd just go to your email client and attach the file.

Alternatively, especially if you're not comfortable finding or sending files, I recommend contacting our Customer Support.  They can walk you through the process of completely reinstalling.

You should have a REPAIR Updates option in the Windows programs menu, see if that helps.

This is what it looks like for 2020 Professional

I can't find that.  I have ProSeries Basic Edition & Windows 8.  Thanks for your help.

I didnt realize that Win 8 was still supported, I thought Win10 was what is needed.

I am having the same problem with ProSeries Professional and have been on and off the phone with Intuit support yesterday and today.  I had VPN turned on and did not know that.  We turned it off and reloaded from the disk.  I was able to re-install, but know I dont have the States and I am unable to update again.  I will call Intuit again tommrrow.  I am dead in the water for now.  I had backed up my client data so I was able to restore that after re-install.

Can you..

- Open ProSeries

- Go to Help -> Send Logs

- Email the resulting zip file (saved to your desktop) to proseries_engineering@intuit.com?

Right now I cannot even open ProSeries because I can't load the 2020 program at all.  I uninstalled and then attempted to reinstall from the website and I couldn't get past the "pick your states" screen.  The error message only says "A problem occurred during installation" and gave a link to an article related to "trusted sites".  I followed those instructions but it didn't work.
