Recent Windows updates may keep your Rightworks Transaction Pro application from launching. Please follow the steps below for either desktop or server to resolve:
- Verify that all Windows Updates have been completely installed
- Reboot the machine. This is a necessary step, whether for a desktop, laptop, or server.
- If TPro still will not launch, please try installing the Microsoft Access Database Engine from THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
- Even if the Microsoft Access Database Engine is already installed, it will need to be repaired due to the Windows Update.
- With the Microsoft Access Database Engine, make sure that you are installing the 2010 32-bit version, no matter what version of Excel you are using. If you have the 64-bit version of Excel, then you will need to add /quiet or /passive (depending on what version of Windows you have) to the shortcut prior to running the Microsoft Access Database Engine. This is explained in the section for 64-bit version of Office in this article: Microsoft Access Database Engine is Required
- If Transaction Pro still will not open, please continue with the steps below.
- After attempting to open TPro and it crashes, please open the Event Viewer. Go to WINDOWS LOGS > APPLICATION. See if there is a recent error.
- If so, click on it and see if it mentions either the KERNELBASE.DLL file or ACEDAO.dll file as the error.
- If so, see the appropriate article below on how to repair the error:
- After trying all the steps above, if you are still having issues launching your Transaction Pro application, please contact our support team by calling 888-297-6172, using the chat button on this page, or emailing [email protected].
