• In case you are using a version of QuickBooks
  that you acquired before 2016, you might be
  prompted to continue usage of the 2016 version of

 Installation  procedure

• First and foremost, make fully sure that you do
  not have any earlier versions of the software on
  your PC, as this might interfere with the
  installation/update process. If you find any such
  version, ensure that you uninstall it before you
  continue.
• Download the installation package from the OEM
  website and extract the files on your computer.
• Open the setup, and make sure you follow the
  instructions perfectly in order to install the
  application.
• Open the tool it should start automatically if
  you successfully finished the installation
  process.

• Navigate to the directory that holds the company
  file you wish to diagnose, using the drop-down
  list. Usually, the last 10 you opened should
  already be present on it.
• In case you are using the software as a single
  user, you do not need to use the network
  connectivity option, as most of your problems
  should be rooted to file corruption. However, at
  times, your errors could also be caused by
  connectivity issues as well.
• In multi-user environments, your files are prone
  to corruption, as they are being shared across
  multiple servers, and can usually be rooted in
  network issues.

• Type in your admin password when prompted.
• Choose whether you are on a Host computer or
  a Workstation PC, depending on if you are a
  singular user, or working alongside multiple
  users.
• Be patient while the Diagnostic Tool scans and
  repairs your company files, or identifies your
  connectivity problems. It has proven to have a
  high rate of success and should be able to solve
  most of your issues.
