    Hi IngRMF 

     

    I found this note on an old post - the Windows version is different but I think the it should still work:

    There's an old post from 2019 that explains the issue, but essentially when installing MYOB AccountRight Premier Classic on Server 2019, you'd get an "Initialisation error" when opening any MYOB files. The same configuration on Windows Server 2016 seemed to work, however.

     

    Here's how you fix that:

     

    • Open the System Properties control panel applet (fastest method is right click Start > Run > type 'sysdm.cpl')
    • Go to the Advanced tab and click on Settings... under Performance.
    • Go to the Data Execution Prevention tab, click Add... and navigate to "Myobp.exe" wherever you installed AccountRight (my install is AccountRight Premier v19, so your executable file may have a different name).
    • Click OK, and watch in amazement as AccountRight can now open MYO files with ease.
