PtoP.rsrc Error
Table of Contents
Background
This is a resource file of the Upgrade Assistant. You can receive the error when attempting to upgrade a company file.
This error usually occurs because of one of three things:
- Location: If the Upgrade Assistant is not in the proper location or the name of Macintosh HD is unusual, the Upgrade Assistant may be unable to locate the resource file.
- Permissions: If the user does not have the correct permissions to access the resource file or its directory, the Upgrade Assistant will not be able to locate or open the resource file.
- The resource file is missing from this Upgrade Assistant
How to Fix the Issue
-
Verify the Upgrade Assistant has the necessary file:
- Verify AccountEdge is in the /Applications folder, and its folder is correctly named
