Cannot Find Required System Data Files

This message usually appears when the SharedData entry in the Windows registry does not point to the correct folder. Sage 300 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:\Sage 300

SharedData  X:\DATA

In the above example, accounting applications are located on one drive, and the shared data is located on another one.
