Installing Latest QuickBooks Versions

 

With the frequency of software updates nowadays, it is a major pain to reinstall a program from the original CD and then have to spend additional hours going though all of the updates that have been released since the original disc was produced.  This has long been the case with QuickBooks. 

I just received the latest copy of the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Newsletter, and it looks like they have addressed that very issue.  According to this announcement, they are making it possible to download and install the most current version of the 2006 programs directly from their website. Of course, this will only be useful for those with very fast broadband internet service since the files will be humongous. 

As an experiment, I clicked on the link to download the current version of QuickBooks Pro, the least expensive QB flavor.  (The Simple Start version doesn’t count because it is not a true QB program and is a big waste of money.)   

It shows the file size as 463 MB, which would take all night on the slow DSL service we have up here on our mountain top.  Those with fast cable access should be able to download the file in much less time.
