QuickBooks Pro 2013 Update Keeps Failing with Config.msi Errors
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
I have QuickBooks Pro 2013 which installs perfectly from my CD, however when I try to install the update files it fails saying "Error 1328. Error updating file C:\Config.Mao\#####.tmp"
The ##### above is various different .tmp files.
I have looked in the root of C\: (with hidden files shown) and cannot even see the Config.msi folder.

To your error, the user running the install while Gavin's administrative rights is a roaming user.
Open elevated command line prompt
Run runas /user:addomain\username cmd
Then use the new window that pops up to run the installer.
If you are installing this on a terminal server/Remote Desktop server, make sure to run change user /install first return it to exec when done.

QuickBooks should be installed as a local administrative user if possible. A domain admin works, but local is better if you have one.
