Troubleshooting: Connection error after QODBC or QuickBooks Upgrade

Problem Description 1

     Sometimes when upgrading to a new version of QODBC, the connection test fails. If I go to the advanced tab in the setup, I get an error about not finding a dll - boost_regex-vc80-mt-p-1_33.dll. Get error 80040154 (unknown error).

     Un-install and re-install did not help any.

Solutions 1

      Have you ever installed the SDK?

     boost_regex-vc80-mt-p-1_33.dll is a file from the SDK installed by the SDK in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks and is not installed by QODBC.

      Try deleting the files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks, re-install QuickBooks, and QODBC. You will need to activate QuickBooks before you can use QODBC.
