Hey there, ACS2020.

I appreciate your effort in performing some troubleshooting steps beforehand. Let me help you go over to your account and have your payroll updates downloaded.

You can manually download and run the file with updates from your computer using web-patch. This process is used when we're unable to restore the updates within QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. Please open this page: Downloads & Updates.
2. Select the United States (US) country, your QuickBooks product, and the version.
   
3. Click Search and click on Get the latest release in blue text. This will download the qbwebpatch.exe file, which you will run to later on.
4. After running the file, you can restart your PC. Then, download the payroll update again using the usual steps.

Once done, you can start doing your payroll. However, if the problem persists, the following article lists different payroll updates error codes and detailed troubleshooting steps to resolve them: Fix error when updating Desktop or Payroll.

Keep me posted if you still need help with downloading the payroll updates or anything in QuickBooks. I'll be standing by to help you out. Happy Holidays!

Hi Mirriam,

I have an issue with updating my quickbooks file.  I am on Version 29.0 and Error message is Problem Error13. Unable to locate the file. C:ProgramData\Intuit\Quickbooks2019\components\downloadQB29\patch\QB2019_Core_R11R12_msp.dat

Can you please help

I tried opening and downloading the files myself and it appears to go thru but when I open Quickbooks again the message for new install comes up again and won't work.

I understand where you're coming from, @amjppk.

Let me share some insights on what to do with missing company files when updating QuickBooks.

You're getting the error message Unable to locate the file because your company file was moved or renamed. It also happens when the computer is disconnected from the path where the QuickBooks file is located or your QuickBooks file has been deleted from your computer. Select how you access your company file to fix it. Once done, follow the steps.

If you're accessing your QuickBooks file over the network.

Solution 1: To ensure you're connected to the network, ping the server

Solution 2: Search for all company files

Solution 3: Open your file in QuickBooks

If you're accessing your QuickBooks file saved locally on the same computer.

Solution 1: Search for all company files

Solution 2: Open your file in QuickBooks

I'm also adding this article for the detailed steps in every solution: Company file is missing or cannot be found.

Here are some handy articles that you can review that you might use in the future.
