ProSeries updates are out of sync

SOLVEDby Intuit3Updated 1 year ago

After updating ProSeries 2019 and prior, the program does not open but shows an error saying, "ProSeries updates are out of sync."

Before you start:

  • This issue is most common when ProSeries installed on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. ProSeries does not support NAS devices. If you are having this problem and are running ProSeries on a NAS device, the software will need to be installed on a supported operating system.
  • The Admin workstation needs to be fixed first and then each and every workstation on the network.
  • Ensure the correct version of the Gist file is the most up to date version before resolving the workstation. The version number for the  wgistlibs-17753-17766.ver referenced for the workstations will increase or change with each update of the ProSeries program.
  • This article references default installation paths and uses YY to reference the tax year in 20YY format. C: will always indicate the local drive and X: will always indicate the network drive.
