NOTE:The above location may vary depending on versioning.
Once SDK is there, the default location for the Orca.msi is located at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\bin
The download for Windows SDK is going to depend on your operating system, and they can all be found on Microsoft’s download website: And with SDK being such a large set of components (multiple GBs), this can be a good option for some (just use a search engine to find it). SDK is what we’ll stick to in this post, but note that Orca can also be downloaded from unofficial sources around the web without installing all of SDK. It is provided as an Orca.msi file which can be ran after installing Windows SDK to then install the Orca.exe file. Orca is only officially available in the Windows SDK. We will no longer need or use the Setup.exe file. Microsoft’s MSI editor Orca allows us to create a transform (.MST) file using QuickBooks.msi which, when executed together, will run a silent install. I was not able to find a way to execute Setup.exe silently, however inside the QBooks folder is a QuickBooks.msi. The installer source files I was provided are pictured: Luckily with some deep searching and past experience, I was able to come up with a silent method that worked. There was a surprisingly lack of information and documentation from Intuit on how to accomplish this.
I was recently tasked with creating a silent SCCM application installer for QuickBooks Accountant 2019. Successfully Tested On: Windows 10 Enterprise versions 1803 - 2004, Windows 10 Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) version 1607, Windows 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) versions 2015 - 2019
