Solution- Stop MSIEXEC.exe from running and reinstall Microsoft Runtime Libraries

QuickBooks installation mostly gets terminated by this error when the Windows installer malfunctions and fails to access the QB Installation package. This can happen if the Windows installer is already occupied with another program installation on your computer. This error code comes up whenever you try extracting the installation package and the Windows installer fails to run in the background. This can also happen if the Windows installer develops internal issues and freezes whenever you try installing QuickBooks. An easy way to remove the issue is by stopping MSIEXEC.exe from running in the background, as shown in these steps-

Press the CTRL+Alt+Delete keys and single-click the Task Manager option in the next menu.
Navigate to the Processes tab and alphabetically sort the processes using the Image name column.
Move down the list of processes to search for MSIEXEC.exe.
Single-click on it and click the End Process option below.
Close the task manager window.

After the Windows Installer process is stopped, you must download and install the Microsoft Runtime libraries again. This installation issue can also develop if the Microsoft Library gets damaged and Windows fails to install any new application on your PC. Follow these steps to reinstall the Microsoft Library-

Open a web browser on your PC and download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package.

Note: Download the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package (x86) for a 32-bit operating system and the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package (x64) for a 64-bit operating system.

Specify the location on your PC for the download and double-click vcredist_X86.exe or vcredist_X64.exe.
Do as per the directions given on the screen and reopen your PC afterward to install QuickBooks.
