Method- Register the Windows Installer on your PC and run it in Admin mode during installation

Getting QuickBooks error 1723 during software installation on your PC is an indication that there is a problem with the Windows installer package. The Windows installer fails to access the package or process it if the Windows Firewall stops the installer from running properly. The QBDT installation will freeze or stop as soon as the Windows installer crashes or fails to run in the background. Another thing to remember is to disable your antivirus during QBDT installation to prevent installation files from getting blocked. You'll have to register the Windows Installer in Windows to make it functional again and provide it admin rights to prevent it from getting blocked again. Use these steps-

  1. Go to the search panel located on the taskbar and enter msiexec/unreg.
  2. Begin the search and click the OK option in the dialogue box on your screen.
  3. Single-click the search panel again and enter msiexec/regserver.
  4. Hit Enter on the keyboard and tap OK if a dialogue box appears.

The above steps will register your Windows installer, and the internal issues will be removed. Now, you must run the Windows installer in Admin mode to prevent it from the restrictions of the Windows firewall or antivirus. This also allows the installer to access the required files from the system drives without problems. Use these steps-

  1. Go to the search panel and type ‘cmd.'
  2. Right-click the CMD icon in the results and tap Run as Administrator.
  3. When the black screen appears, type icacls “C:\Config.Msi” /T/C/grant administrators: F as a command and press Enter.
