I appreciate your patience on this. Please let me know if there's anything else you need. 

Our engineers have found the cause and the solution to this error, wbhatti19.

The error is triggered by a damaged ECML file. This holds the license and product numbers of the program. Deleting it and re-entering these numbers will resolve the issue.

First, you'll want to end the task for the QBW32.exe window in the task manager. Second, delete the ECML file using the steps in this article: Delete the Damaged EntitlementDataStore.ecml File to Resolve License and Registration Issues. After deleting it, you can register the program again.

We're just right here if you need more help.

again same issue Sir

Thanks for letting me know, wbhatti19.

At this point, let's re-install your QuickBooks using the Clean Install tool. This process will rename and recreate all existing QuickBooks installation folders to start fresh. Renaming the folders will not affect the data of your company files, just the program.

If you get the same thing, please give us a phone call, and one of our agents will check your QuickBooks further. You can follow the steps shared by SophiaAnnL above to get their number.

Feel free to reply again. I'm just around to help.

I NEED HELP GETTING INTO MY QB ACCOUNT. HERE IS WHAT I AM GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE CLICK THE QB ICON. QBW32.EXE-FATAL APPLICATION EXIT. CAN ANYONE HELP

I can help you fix the issue when opening your company file, JAMM2IT2021.

There are possible reasons why the error prompts when trying to open your company file such as damaged Windows operating system program files, or QuickBooks Desktop installation is corrupted. If you haven't tried performing the steps provided by my colleague JessT, you can give it a try.

If the same thing happens, I'd suggest updating our QuickBooks to the latest release version, and follow the steps under the (Alternative) Get updates from the internet section. Updates will make minor changes in the data file for compatibility. 

You can also check out this article for more detailed steps along with several solutions you can try. Detailed steps are provided on the page together with screenshots: QuickBooks Desktop won't open, has stopped working, or not responding.

Keep me posted on how this works. I'd more glad to help. Take care and have a great day!

Which QB Desktop year version and Windows OS do you have?
