Resolution

CAUTION: This solution requires an advanced understanding of Windows or third-party add-ons. Mistakes in the Windows registry, security, and network settings can cause serious problems. Sage isn't responsible for the Windows environment, third-party add-ons, or customization issues. Create a system and database backup before making changes. Get help from your system admin, consultant, or vendor. 

Move the installation files

A longer path to the installation files exceeding Windows maximum length can prevent the installation.

  1. Copy the MyAssistant installation files to a folder on C:\ or another local drive.
  2. Run the installation again from that folder.

Restart the Computer

  • Microsoft SQL Express performs component verification before installation
  • The pending updates or a scheduled restart can prevent the SQL Express installation

Install manually
