Solutions
You won’t be able to execute payroll tasks on your QBT until you resolve the 
issues with your payroll update. Apply the following methods to get rid of the 
payroll update issues in your QBDT-
Solution 1- Use the Verify-Rebuild utility to repair 
QuickBooks program files and other data
QuickBooks might malfunction and fail to give the desired results if its program files 
get damaged. The software needs its program files to run smoothly and can fall prey 
to errors in the absence of the files. It can happen if your system gets hit by a virus 
attack or data corruption and QB data gets damaged. You must take the help of the 
Verify-Rebuild utility offered by QuickBooks to repair the data and make QB files 
usable again. Apply the following steps-
1. Launch QuickBooks on your PC and go to the File menu at the top.
2. Select Utilities from the options and tap Rebuild Data.
3. Click Yes in the dialogue box if you want to create a data backup before 
proceeding.
4. Wait until the data is repaired and go to the File menu again.
5. Tap Utilities and select Verify Data to find any remaining issues.
6. If a ‘Your data has lost integrity’ message appears, click Rebuild Now to fix the 
remaining issues in your QB data.
If QuickBooks fails to install the payroll update after this method, move to the next 
solution.
Solution 2- Get rid of minor issues in the software using 
the QB tool hub
QuickBooks can fail to install the payroll update if minor issues develop due to its 
partial or faulty installation on your computer. You must visit the official QB 
website to download the latest QB version (1.6.0.3) and apply these steps after it 
is downloaded on your PC-
1. Double-click the QuickBooksToolhub.exe file and go to the Program 
Problems menu.
