First of all I must say that Intuit has the most useless and incompetent "support" I have ever experienced in my life. I was asked to update my QB Pro 2020 over 6 weeks ago by the program and it said it finished "successful". I cannot run the app, nor can I uninstall to do a fresh install. YES, I could install on another user or computer but that is NOT THE POINT. I don't want this crap product stuck on my computer:
1) went to use QB Pro 2020 on 11/20/21
2) was asked by the QB app to update application software
3) said YES and went through the process; was told update was "SUCCESSFUL"
4) when done, received error:
SYSTEM ERROR: Something's not right: QuickBooks couldn't load a system component. Restarting
your computer might solve the problem. Error type: 80029c4a - Can't load dynamic link library (DLL)
** RESTART DID NOT HELP **
5) called Intuit "support"
6) worked with "Glenn Albert" (although I suspect that was his "American" name)
7) spent > 1 hour with "Glenn"; he connected to my machine and should have documented everything he did (if he was actually trained properly by Intuit)
8) we could not install fresh version of QB Pro because the app still shows installed and trying to remove it results in the following error:
"WINDOWS INSTALLER: This patch package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows installer patch package"
9) I rebooted my machine, verified all Windows updates installed, etc, etc, etc
10) "Glenn" said he has seen nothing like this, his knowledge base had nothing, and his "senior techs" were stumped
11) Said he would get back to me in a few days; it has been a week and again, I CANNOT USE THE PRODUCT/ AM IN ENDLESS LOOP
12) Calls and chat with other members of "support" were extremely frustrating and useless
So here I am, ready to move to another vendor and bash Intuit with the other thousands of unsatisfied customers. Meanwhile your CEO preaches about your stellar support from his Ivory Tower; yes your CEO
is a HYPOCRITE!
I know there are smart people at Intuit that can help. This is a cry for help. Calling Corporate in Mountain View was useless (was hung up on), tried IR in New York, and now here.
Can you do the right thing or will you prove that your CEO is just another lying suit?

Which number did you call?

Which Windows OS do you run?
Thanks for your interest. I am running Windows 10 with all current updates installed. I called the support number from intuit.com = 800-446-8848. I have also been transferred to "support" from sales in the USA. Both people in sales said they would escalate for me, but neither did.
I should also add that I have run Quickbooks Tool Hub and it is useless also.
Thank you
Hello BT12345!
I'd feel the same if I'm in this situation. I'd like to ensure that you'll be able to fix this error. I'm joining here so I can help.
The Error 80029c4a should be resolved with the latest release of QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2020. I understand that you updated it already. You'll want to update it again so that you'll have the latest fixes and patches.
You can download the new updates from our website. Please click this link: https://downloads.quickbooks.com/app/qbdt/products.
Also, you'll want to check your antivirus settings. Some antivirus programs block QuickBooks Desktop files which will result to this error. Check the programs listed below and give them permission to go through your firewall:
I'd also advice you to reach out to your IT expert so they can check your operating system (OS). Any damaged from your Windows will result to issues.
Lastly, I understand that you contacted our Support Team already. However, I suggest you contact them again and see if there's an update to your case.
I added this link for more details on how to fix issues in QuickBooks Desktop: Fix company file and network issues with QuickBooks File Doctor.
I'm looking forward to assisting you again. Take care!
First, thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate that.
I work in IT so I have already cut all the low-hanging fruit in your response.
So where is Intuit to help me with this? I have logged 10+ hours with their useless support and non-existent escalation.
With all due respect, Intuit has the worst customer service anywhere, all time.
Meanwhile their CEO preaches that customer service is their strength and focus.
Oh look, another useless comment from more useless commenters in this so-called "Community". Is there ANYONE from Intuit that actually knows how to solve a problem? That answer seems to be no.
