Hi Rakesh1
I just wanted to check when you tried the below solution, that you definitely had the correct executable file for your version of MYOB? I have multiple versions on my system and have renamed the versions to MYOB16.exe, MYOB17.exe, etc to distinguish between these. Plus these helps stop the Blocked App error by Windows as well. Keep persisting as you should be able to get v16 working on Windows 11, same as Windows 10.
Cheers

PS - contact me via email if you still can't get it to work as I may have other suggestions.
There's an old post from 2019 that explains the issue, but essentially when installing MYOB AccountRight Premier Classic on Server 2019, you'd get an "Initialisation error" when opening any MYOB files. The same configuration on Windows Server 2016 seemed to work, however.
Here's how you fix that:
Hi Liz
Thank you. Yes I tried the 2019 post solution, but it did not work on two od our PC's. The problem is not Windows 11 on which everything was ok till we upgraded AVG Anti Virus from 1/10/23.
v16 still works on old stadby Lap we have where anti virus was not upgraded.
But I dont mind going into Account Right now if the file can be upgraded somehow. Only if I can get phone support I know it can be done, but no one in MYOB seems to help with that. Sad!
Hi Rakesh1
I think you need to do a stepped upgrade as the AR2xxx will only upgrade from the last Legacy version being v19. This can be downloaded from https://www.myob.com/au/support/downloads?product=AccountRight+v19+Plus&page=1 (assuming Plus is your version). I expect you will need a subscription for this. FGH Tables may be able to sort your upgrade issues quickly for a reasonable price. Personally, unless you really need online services, I wouldn't do it but that's just my dislike of the lack of speed and unreliability of the newer versions. Plus the cost of course.
Cheers
