After installing Sage Payroll 2010 on a Windows 7 machine the program loads with a splash screen then disappears. Even after running is with administrator rights and Windows XP compatibility mode the issue still occurs.

The fix is to Open a Command Prompt Screen , Start , Type CMD right click and run as administrator

Enter “regsvr32 msxml3.dll”

Reinstall Sage Payroll Over the Top

Sage Payroll now works !
