To correct the installation errors first you will need to use a Microsoft utility.

This process will remove your payroll program files. Removing the program WILL NOT remove any of your payroll or licence details. You do need to make sure though that when you reinstall the program it goes to the correct folder.

First, check where payroll is installed currently. Right click on your payroll shortcut and select “Properties”.

On the properties window make a note of the text in “Start in”:

This is the location the program will need to be re installed to. Make a note of this.

Next run this Microsoft utility: https://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/

When prompted select the option “Detect problems and let me select the fixes to apply”

Then select “Uninstalling”

From the list of programs select your payroll product then work through and complete the rest of the wizard.

Next, download the latest version of payroll.

Follow the rest of the wizard to complete the installation. Once finished you can continue payroll as normal.
