Windows 10: I want to install MYOB software from a CD.

Windows 11 will not let me Win10 was fine. I am the administrator of the account and it still won't let me install. This should be easy! Win11 seems to make it impossible to install and only wants to help with Microsoft products. The idea of Windows is to allow you to use whatever software you choose so this should be simple - Win11 keeps blocking the setup.exe files

MYOB V12 Install

Hi There,
My problem is installing/running MYOB on Windows 10.
I have an old version of MYOB V12 which I have used for years and it does exactly what I need it to do and I don't need the new expensive subscription MYOB software with all the bells and whistles.
So, here is my problem:
V12 (which comes with the BASlink program for filling in the Tax man's BAS forms) ran perfectly in Windows 10 when I upgraded from Windows 7, so I know that both programs can successfully run under Windows 10.
Unfortunately I had to do a rebuild of my machine recently and I can't install V12 directly onto a new build of Windows 10.
I have however found that I can copy the old V12 MYOB folder from a past image and V12 runs without any problem directly from that except for when it tries to access BASlink. I also can't run directly the BASlink program.
Below are the errors I get, runtime error 53, file not found.





I just happen to have an old Windows 7 computer and I have just installed V12 on it under compatibility mode and it works fine including BASlink. I have just used this to help me complete my recent BAS return.
I have searched the Registry file and there are only a few entries there about MYOB which I assume helps with the link/running of BASlink.
MYOB support have not been able to help me other than to offer me new subscription software.
I know it's an old program but it does exactly what I need and I won't be changing from it, even if I have to fill out my BAS manually.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

Lyndallg,

Have you seen the post by LE1603 titled "App Blocked by administrator".

It's listed 5 posts after yours in the list for Windows 10, Security and Privacy selection.

It has a couple of fix suggestions, one by LeahChapman worked for me as a temporary measure.

It involves turning off an element of windows security in the registry, but it got me into MYOB.

Good luck.

Sorry, this is back to front. If MYOB is incompatible with Win10 then MYOB needs to fix the problem. Check the MYOB help desk. There is probably a fix available.
