Re: vmware, windows, and Quickbooks Premier

I am not having any success getting Quickbooks Pro 2013 to work in a Win 7 VM on OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks).

 

Would you share how you have your system and VM setup to run Quickbooks? Did you install Windows in a Bootcamp partition or just a VM? How do you have your user files (Documents folder) setup - is it a share or mirrored? If it is a share, do your documents show up under the Library>Documents folder in Windows?

 

I think my issue is that the shared Documents folder for OSX is not showing up in the Windows library under Documents. I can't seem to make the Documents folder show up there or link it to that location. Windows sees the shared Documents folder from OSX as a network drive so I cannot link it to the Library folder. All my other applications don't seem to have a problem with this but Quickbooks will not open the company file from a network drive unless there is some multiuser server software running and since Quickbooks does not run on the Mac I can't install it on the host OS.

 

I like that I didn't have to partition off a section of my hard drive for Bootcamp but I guess if I have to I will. I hate to have to do this just to run Quickbooks. I've thought about switching to Quickbooks Online but the monthly fees are outrageous (at least to me).

 

Thanks,

David
