XML parser 4.0 dependency

I'm here to help share how you can log in to your company file, @satC.

QuickBooks is able to run independently even without the MSXML but it is recommended to keep it installed to avoid errors while working with your file.

Since you've already uninstalled the program, let's run one of the QuickBooks Tool functions to get rid of the error message. This way, you can log back in and work with your company file. Let me show you how.

1. Download the QuickBooks Tool hub.
2. Open and install the downloaded file.
3. On the QuickBooks Tool app, select Company File Issues.
4. Select Quick Fix my File.
5. Click OK.

From here, let the tool completely run and relaunch QuickBooks. I'm adding this article to understand more how you can utilize the tool: How to use File Doctor to Fix Company File Issues in QuickBooks Desktop?

You can also check this reference with the helpful steps you can follow to fix some of the specific error messages you may receive in the future: Error 6073 and 99001, QuickBooks is Unable to Open this Company File.

Don't hesitate to post again here if you have other questions about logging in and working with your file. I'm always around happy to help. Take care and stay safe!

Hi,

Thank You for your swift response.

Due to security issues our security team is requesting to remove this component as a mandatory step.

This is where we hesitate , to keep or uninstall ?

Thanks,

Welcome back, @satC.

Allow me to provide some clarification about uninstalling MSXML.

Please know that MSXML 4 is required to be installed on your computer to keep QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) up and running. This way, you'll avoid errors, like being unable to log in to your QuickBooks company file. 

In addition, MSXML is a windows component that can cause QBDT not to run properly when damaged. Thus, you'll want to keep it installed on your computer.

Just in case you encounter errors with MSXML, you can read this article to learn how to fix it: Repair Microsoft MSXML.

As always, you can visit our QuickBooks Community help website if you need tips and related articles in the future.

If you need any assistance getting your company file up and running, I'm available here to help any time!
