Option 1: Install the Aatrix update manually

  4. When the installation has completed, click Finish.
  5. Open the tax form in Sage 50 and verify that it is opening now.

Option 2: Manually remove Aatrix and remove the key

  1. Press the Windows key + E to open the File Explorer.
  2. In the File Explorer browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Peach (or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Peach in 32-bit Windows).
