QB Pro 2010 Installation problems. I get a message that "Third Party components are not found".

I purchased the Quickbooks pro 2010 plus payroll bundle. im trying to install on a windows 7(home premium editition) and receive the same error message. i went through the folders and installed what i could from the thirdparty folder and still receive this error.

your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the exact same problem.

Trying to install on a brand new computer with Windows 7. Someone from Intuit, please help.

Thanks

Make sure that you COMPLETELY disable any anti-malware software.  I was having the same problem today with Norton Internet Security.  I right-clicked on the Norton system tray icon and Disabled Anti-Virus Auto-Protect, but that wasn't enough to get QuickBooks installed.  I had to open Norton and disable EVERYTHING.  Well, I probably didn't have to disable everything, but there were seven components and it was easier disabling everything than figuring out which was the culprit.

Hope this helps!

The answer does not fix the problem for me.

I have completely uninstalled the Norton internet security. I have run all the latest Windows updates.

Still the same problem. Third party components are not installed. The install process will be interrupted.

I have a client running into the same problem ... would be nice to know what 3rd party stuff his installation disk is missing. 

Here's what worked for me:

Disable all security software such as Norton's Internet Security.

Open the Quickbooks folder on the installation CD

Double click the quickbooks install file

NOTE: everything will look good but quickbooks will not actually run

Use your Control Panel as if you were going to Uninstal quickbooks, but select REPAIR instead.

This will load everything quickbooks needs to run and it should all work perfectly afterward.

I figured this out during my 45 min wait with tech support.  Their solution was to copy the entire Install CD onto my hard drive and run the install from there. 

I hope this helps as I spent hours trying to find an answer.

thanks for the help this solution worked for me appreciate the help

I had similar issues. I am running Windows 7 on a new computer and have McAfee Antivirus. I tried turning off the antivirus protection and restarting the computer but that didn't help. My computer wouldn't even recognize the QB cd.

What I did to resolve this was put the QB cd into my other computer running Windows XP, copied the contents of the QB cd into a new folder and then copied the new folder over to the new computer via jumpdrive. Once on the new computer, opened up the folder, double clicked "SETUP" and was good to go from there.

Hope this helps anyone having the same issues.

I found that nothing worked to install QB on a Windows 7 computer.  I copied the CD to the C: Drive and installed, no good.  I copied it to a network drive and installed, no good.  Then in a final fit of frustration I left the "Install shortcuts of goods and services" box checked and Bingo! everything worked perfectly, so I must assume that "Third Party Components" are all those annoying icons and applications for ordering checks, etc., etc, and that QB10 will not install unless you agree to install all the garbage with it.

Oh, well, that's what uninstall and the delete key are for...

This is a known problem with the early CD versions of QB 2010 (at least some CD versions - I think mostly ones that went out via retailers). The third party components may be Microsoft .NET components, Flash, and things like this. It doesn't necessarily mean annoying things that you don't want. In fact, I don't know of any annoying things that are loaded from that folder (I could be wrong, just didn't notice any after a quick look).

The workaround, if you haven't gotten around the problem, is to download an updated version of the install program from http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/pages/knowledgebasearticle/1006369

It is important to download the proper product that matches what you have on the CD. The product codes on your CD will work with the matching download product.
