System.TypeInitializationException Errors in Bank Feeds

Yes, yet another thread on this topic.  QuickBooks Tool Hub does not resolve.  This has been going on for at least a year and we are tired of it.  What is the exact problem that is taking place here?

Hi there, @1254209.

 

I'd be glad to help you fix the System Exception Error. Since you’ve done using the QuickBooks Tool Hub, there are two more workarounds you can perform to fix this.

 

You can clean install QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Or you'll need to check if you have appropriate user permissions to C:\ProgramData.

 

You can begin with downloading the latest release of the QBDT program. Then, create a backup copy of the company file to keep a copy of your previous transactions. This procedure fixes known issues of the software and improve its overall performance.


To install the release:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Choose the Update Now tab, then mark the box for Reset Update to remove the previous download.
  3. Click on the Get Updates button to start the process and click OK to continue.
  4. When the QuickBooks Desktop Information window appears, click OK and then restart your QuickBooks to kick-off the installation. I've added some screenshots for additional reference:


After completing the following steps, you can start creating a backup. Then, uninstall the desktop program. You can go to the Control Panel to find the application.

 

  1. On your keyboard, click the Windows Start menu and search for Control Panel.
  2. Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
  3. Choose the version of QuickBooks Desktop you're having problems with from the list of installed programs.
  4. Select Uninstall/Change and follow the on-screen instructions. Ensure that you are the Windows Admin to do this process.

 

Once done, you can follow the steps in this article to do a clean install: Clean install QuickBooks Desktop.


Also, you may consider checking this article to know more about the other option to fix this error: Fix System Exception errors.

 

Please don't hesitate to tag my name in the comment section if you have other questions or concerns. I'd be happy to lend a helping hand. Take care.

The installation is on a terminal server with 15 users across multiple company files.  I do not want to deal with having to reconfigure every terminal.  Further, this approach gives me no guarantee that the problem will actually go away since we are resetting the installation rather than fixing the error.  On that note - there is a clear and verbose error message here - how about we deal with specifically what it is telling us is the actual problem?

    Hello again, ballade4. I can see the urgency of getting this resolved.

     

    The System.TypeInitializationException error might occurs when QuickBooks can’t access the fiblueprint.xml file because of user permission restrictions. It'll usually happen when you use QuickBooks in a hosted, terminal service, or Citrix environment.

     

    To fix, let's start by ensuring you have the appropriate user permissions to C:\ProgramData. Here's how:

    1. Find and open your QuickBooks folder in C:\ProgramData. 
    2. Find and double-click on the fiblueprint.xml file.
    3. If the file opens, close it and restart QuickBooks. 

    Once done, retry working on your bank feeds. If you can’t, you need to grant full access to your profile. 

    1. Right-click anywhere in the folder.
    2. Tap Properties.
    3. Go to the Security tab.
    4. Choose Edit.
    5. In the “Group or user names” section, select Everyone.
    6. In the “Permissions for Everyone” section, select Full control.
    7. Close the Edit and Properties windows.
    8. Restart your computer, then open QuickBooks. Retry working on your bank feeds.

    If unable to set the permissions, I recommend working with your hosting provider or an IT professional to update it.

     

    If the issue persists after following the steps above, continue with the Solution 2: Fix Microsoft .NET Framework, MSXML, and C++ in this article: Fix System Exception errors.

    Let me know how things go on your end and if you need other help in QuickBooks. I’m more than happy to further assist you. Have a great rest of the day.

    I am working on a server, and the only way to get this to go away is to open and run as administrator.  Otherwise, I get this popup every time and with each transaction when trying to pull into QB.

     

    Our IT department has looked at it and can't fix it other than to tell me to run as administrator.

     

    Why can't QB get this fixed?!  It's an annoying inconvenience.

    I hear your sentiments and wish I could make it better, @DC1122.

     

    As previously stated by my colleagues, this error message appears when QuickBooks can't access the fiblueprint.xml file due to user permission limitations. In addition, using QuickBooks in a hosted terminal service or Citrix system frequently results in this.

     

    I suggest working on the following methods to continue using your Bank Feeds Center:

     

    1. Make sure you have appropriate user permissions to C:\ProgramData.
    2. Fix Microsoft .NET Framework. MSXML and C++
    3. Completely uninstall QuickBooks

     

    For more information on how to fix System Exception errors, please see this article: Resolve System Exception issues.

     

    If issue persists, you may contact our support team again. This way, they can further check and request a ticket for investigation.

     

    Along with that, I also advise reviewing your server's security configuration to have a smooth access with your data:
