This message usually appears when the SharedData entry in the Windows registry does not point to the correct folder. Sage HRMS Payroll requires data to be arranged in a very specific folder structure.
The SharedData entry is in the Windows registry. The full path to the registry settings is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ACCPAC International, Inc.\ACCPAC\Configuration
The registry also stores the setting for the applications directory and for the common tools. For example:
Applications Y:\ACCPAC
SharedData X:\DATA
In the above example, accounting applications are located on one drive, and the shared data is located on another one.
