How to Setup Up Java for QBXML/COM Quickbooks Desktop SDK 2020

[@webdev5894]

Jose, Your video was super helpful! I'm happy to just be getting responses. I'm now using the QB SDK 15.0 and the only thing that really changes is changing the to 14, but everything else seems to work perfectly. Thank you!

Thanks a lot Jose. I was wondering why I couldn't access the COM object, although in my case I was using 64-bit TCL. I knew something was up when VBScript couldn't do it either (turns out it's 64 bit now too). I made the required registry changes and now TCL could connect!

May I ask how can I set up for my customer easily?

[@Joseinazusa297]

I usually will create a fatjar. I will then put the jar and the jre into a folder and setup launch4j. You don't have to add the jre. I do it so the customer doesn't have to have it installed, or maybe you need a specific version. In the video at 20:30 you will see the Intuit qbxmlrp2 components you will need to install on the customers computer. You don't need the whole SDK. Intuit licensing allows you to distribute with your app. Then I use innosetup to create an installer package. In the installer(in admin mode) I have it install the qbxmlrp2installer.exe, install my app, then I have it run a script to automatically add the registry items needed for 64 bit. So for the customer, they only have to run the installer and run your app.

@@Joseinazusa297 i have another question. I found out that if there is no item or customer in the Qb desktop database, I could not add invoice in it. How do I check first?
