internet explorer / quick books

[Alan C]

When I try to open quickbooks I receive a message saying
I need internet explorer 6.0 or newer. I have it. I have
tried reloading quickbooks no luck. Quickbooks technical
says it has to do with internet explorer. Any ideas

Visit some browser security test sites to see if they can detect your
browser version and note what version they report. If they detect and
report MSIE version 6.0 then the problem is with QuickBooks.

None. If you're using XP, you have IE6. Open IE and click on Help> About to
double check the version that's in use. Quickbooks is not identifying your
browser correctly. I would kick this back to their technical support to
find out why it is being mis-identified if I were you.

My guess is this is lack of regression testing and takes place on Win2K.
A little sleuthing and a small batch file solved the problen for me.
Just copy the and paste into notepad. Save the file as FixQuick.bat and
run. Watch your problems melt away!

@echo off

BTW, IExplore.exe App Paths in 8.3 format is the actual cause.
