Install Quickbooks Premier or Enterprise

install_Quickbooks

Finally, after years of not being able to script the install of Quickbooks its finally figured out. Quickbooks quietly enabled the ability to silently install Quickbooks in version 2019. We can now script the install for Premier and Enterprise versions 2019 and higher. Quickbooks uses the same installer for Quickbooks Premier and Quickbooks Accountant, it determines which to install using the Product Code supplied in the site variable. For our component, you can create a site variable with license keys for each version so you can install Quickbooks with a single Quick Job without having to look up your license information. The last step in the Quickbooks installer is a button that says “Launch Quickbooks”. The installer will sit there indefinitely with this window up. Because we are scripting it, the window does not display on the computer. Because of this, the component will continue to be in the “Running” state until it times out or the computer is rebooted. Planned update to this component will identify a way to verify the software is installed and kill the install process to force the component to show finished. Supported Versions: Quickbooks Enterprise 2019 Quickbooks Enterprise 2020 Quickbooks Enterprise 2021 Quickbooks Enterprise 2022 Quickbooks Premier 2019 Quickbooks Premier 2020 Quickbooks Premier 2021 Quickbooks Premier 2022

The component downloads the installer from Quickbooks support site. The file is roughly 900Mg in size. The install requires a Product Number and Serial Number from your quickbooks license. To make it easier on the technicians, the license info is stored in a Site Variable. The component does not activate the software, the user will be prompted to activate when the software is first ran.
