SOLVEDby QuickBooksUpdated 1 year ago

A damaged Framework.xml file can cause the following errors when installing QuickBooks Desktop:

  • The installer encountered an error when running "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\Premier\QBooks" /quiet /norestart INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks 2011" QB LICENSENUM=####-####-####-###
  • Component: QuickBooks
    Location: "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\Premier\QBooks\windowsinstaller-kb93803.exe " EXEAdapter Error: InstallExe method received the system error from CreateProCess , command - "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\Premier\QBooks\windowsinstaller-kb93803.exe" /quiet /norestart INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks 2011" QB LICENSENUM=####-####-####-###
    Note: The Users path, INSTALLDIR path and LICENSENUM will vary. Error 61686 may also be displayed.

EXEAdapter.exe error mostly occurs when Microsoft .net framework is missing or damage on your windows operating system. Microsoft .NET Framework is a Microsoft component used by programs, such as QuickBooks, to integrate with Web applications. see Repair or reinstall Microsoft .NET Framework and start the installation again.
