AccountRight PC Edition 2026.6 MSI

Thank you jbiskit​ - I have passed your email to the team who are looking into this. I think it will be easier to connect with them directly instead of having this thread as the middleman.
Really appreciate you connecting with me via the forum on this though! Hopefully we can publish an update on how this was fixed soon

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.

Hi The_Doc, 

Yes, this issue was addressed in the updated AccountRight PC Edition 2026.6 installer. For a terminal server installation, download the latest PC Edition installer and run it from an elevated Command Prompt using:

MYOB_AccountRight_Setup_2026.6.exe -allusers -silent

The -allusers switch installs AccountRight for all users on the server, while -silent on its own installs it for the current user only. Each user will still need to sign in using their own Windows profile and MYOB login.

If the machine-wide installation still doesn’t work in your environment, please use AccountRight in the browser as a temporary alternative while your IT administrator checks the deployment.

Hi Genreve_S​ 

I am the administrator for this server and the install from the downloaded exe

 MYOB_AccountRight_Setup_2026.6.exe -allusers was done by me this morning for 7 users on my Server 2022 - it does not work!

And no I didn't use the -silent

Regards The Doc

I'm having massive issues when trying to deploy this software to my users.

Context, I manage an AVD and normal workstation fleet via Intune

This application does not allow the delivery via the SYSTEM user context mandated by this platform, it simply hangs in the background without progressing.
Attempted using

-allusers -silent

Any combination of the above, just doesn't progress the install.

I've tried using an invoked session as suggested in this forum - AccountRight release August 3rd - what you need to know | MYOB Community and there is no change.

Absolutely impossible to deploy this software in it's current state.

Same switches above, using an elevated shell window with a normal administrator works fine.

Please fix asap as I am not deploying this to several hundred hosts manually.

Hi jbiskit​ 

Could you please help to answer some questions below which will help us better understand the installation issues with InTune

1. Were you using AllUsers (the equivalent of MSI's /AllUsers=1) parameter before for MSI installation? 
2. If yes, how did you pass the parameters to InTune?
   1.  Could you provide the detailed steps you used to deploy the installation package through Intune?
3. If No, how did you install at machine level instead from Intune?
4. When you installed using only -silent, were there any errors captured in the logs you could share as well?

Hi Mike,

Through Intune (along with other remote shells that execute as SYSTEM) I've always used the following

/qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1

This has typically worked without any issue for the past several years.

Through Intune in particular though, this would have been as an MSI wrapped as a Win32 application simply with those as the install command.

Since being forced to use the .exe version, I've been unsuccessful in any SYSTEM context deployment using a combination of '-silent -allusers' or simply just '-allusers'
In every instance, I can see the process just sit there in the background, failing to proceed.
As this is in SYSTEM context, there is no UI visible to me, even when using PSEXEC to execute as SYSTEM.

Are you able to advise exactly which logs you'd like me to review?

EDIT: 
It should be noted that using '-allusers' as a local user, not SYSTEM works perfectly fine, but this is just not a feasible or realistic solution if this is expected to be deployed at scale.

Hi Mike_MYOB​ , jbiskit​ 

We host 1000s of users on cloud terminal server platforms - many are MYOB users - interesting I spoke with our tech guy who handles problems with MYOB - and he told me he has been using my suggested hack for years without problem to install the PC version to ALLUSERS and the msi...... why this is important is that he came to me asking where the .msi is for PC Edition 2026.6....

I gave him the following information last week as an update 

and he has just confirmed, contrary to my experience further down this post - that it worked fine for a terminal server client this morning installing the PC Edition 2026.6 for ALLUSERS.

We have an internal MYOB staff server that I am administrator for - I will attempt an ALLUSER installation as per the screenshot above, tomorrow, and see if it works.

As to why it didn't work my clients server - any thoughts - it seems to be intermittent.
