Lacert 2020 Won't start

My Lacerte 2020 won't start from the desktop.  When I double click the program the blue tornado will spin for about 15 seconds but nothing happens.  Can someone give me a fix?  Thanks

Try the new Lacerte Tool Hub https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/help-articles/help/fix-common-problems-and-errors-with-the-l...

First try should be the FORCE websetup

Thanks I'll give it a try. 

Is this a new version and do I have to manually remove any previous versions of the tool?

 I used the Force to reinstall the software.  When I run from the desktop icon, the login screen flashes briefly and then disappears.

I have tried every on of the option in the repair tool and the program still doesn't start up.  I seem to recall a similar problem I had with a previous version that was fixed by deleting one of the INI files but I can't seem to find any information on it anywhere.
