[Devart][ODBC][Quickbooks Desktop] Could not start Quickbooks

I am attempting to evaluate the Quickbooks Desktop ODBC Driver. When I set up the ODBC data source, link it to the company file and then click "Test Connection" I get the following error message: "[Devart][ODBC][Quickbooks Desktop] Could not start Quickbooks".

To successfully connect and retrieve data from QuickBooks Desktop (QBD), you need to do the following:

1. The ODBC driver must be installed on the same computer where QuickBooks Desktop is located.

2. **Important!** QuickBooks Desktop must be running and working with the Company file specified in the driver connection settings.

3. The company file must be located on the same computer where QuickBooks Desktop and the ODBC driver are installed.

4. In the driver settings, the path to the company file must point to a local folder, not a network folder.
