Proseries 2020 install stops due to a celfsharp.browsersubprocess

Wrong board. This is a ProConnect Tax Discussions forum.

Thats not a ProSeries file, it on your compuer already somewhere, the system may be accessing its location during install.   This explains where it might reside, you may want to restart your computer in SafeMode and see if you can find and delete that file.

What Virus software are you using? And is it blocking installation or preventing ProSeries from running? 

This happens occasionally.  The ProSeries application comes with dozens of third party libraries and processes it uses to do stuff, like print to PDF or display web pages. In this case CefSharp is a a desktop component we include in our 32bit installation directory. It is basically a small version of Chromium, the technology from Google that powers Chrome & Edge. CefSharp itself is a bunch of different files, one of which is that "Cefsharp.BrowserSubProcess.exe".   I think to fix this you should be able to open up your anti-virus software and grant an exception to the CefSharp.Browser.SubProcess.exe file in our ProSeries Installation Directory (in the 32Bit directory). But, to fix it for everyone, we'll probably need to contact the Anti-Virus vendor and get them to whitelist us / the version of CefSharp we're using.

Good morning, Steve here,.. My firewall is also not allowing install of 2020 proseries to complete based on cefsharp.browsersubprocess.exe file being identified as the culprit.  What did you do to resolve the issue?  is their malware associated with this file that intuit is providing us as part of download?  I have been using proseries for many years and have not encountered similar problems in the past.

The CefSharp.BrowserSubprocessor is causing my computer to lock up.  When going into Task Manager I am unable to stop this task. The file is know to cause problems and Intuit still program.  It needs to be removed ASAP..
