This QuickBooks Pro Error can be caused if there are other versions of QuickBooks not running properly in the background. QuickBooks Error 1712 can occur when your Operating System is damaged or one of the core Microsoft components that QuickBooks Desktop uses is unstable or not functioning correctly. This can also happen after installing or uninstalling something which requires a restart.

Also, this error can occur when installing into an encrypted or corrupted folder. I would recommend attempting to install the program into another location if at all possible. Errors can cause program lock-ups, slow PC performance, system crashes, computer freezing and more.
