AccountRight PC Edition 2026.6 MSI

Hi MYOB

 

Now that you have axed AR Server Edition we have to use the PC version to run on our terminal servers for clients - however, only the .exe version is available and will only install as a single event on the user it is installed on - you can jury rig it and copy components manually to other users but that is at best cumbersome.

 

The MSI version enables us to install the PC version on a server for ALLUSERS using a CMD Administrator run install hack,

Is MYOB going to produce the MSI for 2026.6?  and does the PC version installed on a server auto update? as it seems the server version had a service running to do the update - but the PC version puts and update.exe into the users app private directory - what triggers that to update?

    Hi The_Doc,

     

    Thanks for checking this. There won’t be an AccountRight 2026.6 MSI installer for online company files. From version 2026.6, the MSI installer is for offline files only.

    To keep accessing an online company file, please install AccountRight PC Edition 2026.6 instead. The PC Edition now includes the -allusers option, allowing it to be installed for all users in a managed environment, so an MSI installer isn’t required for this setup. For more information, see our AccountRight release update.

     

    Regards,

    Sai

    Hi Isaiah_C​ 

     

    Thanks for that - important information - I did try ...........exe /ALLUSERS which didn't work so hopefully it will with ......exe -ALLUSERS

     

    This information needs to be radiated out because I missed it and actually posted about a month ago asking exactly this question but got no replies.

     

    Thank you again.

     

    Regards

    Hi Isaiah_C​ 

     

    Just tried installing PC edition on a terminal Server with ALLUSERS switch but it doesn't seem to work.

     

    Had to go to each user on the server and install files by copy and paste from \users\xxx\Appdata\local\Programs  to each persons equivalent appdata directory and manually mod the statup icon for each user 

     

    My install method was an administrator elevated cmd window - cd to where the installer file was then run the command

    MYOB_AccountRight_Setup_202X.X.exe -allusers

     

    Usually, with an ALLUSERS you get asked ALLUSERS or Just this user - that never occurred - it installed correctly my profile and opened.

     

    I have access to all other users - there was no installation.

     

    ????? Update please MYOB.
