  • I am running 2020 update 1b, but when I run the Payroll2020Update1dfromUpdate1b.exe I get the message "This update is not valid for the version of Pastel Payroll you have installed". Any suggestions?

    Hi Glen,

    My suggestion is that you uninstall your current version and run the full install.

    With that being said, I would appreciate it if you email us a screenshot of your Programs & Features screen so we can see the version of your Pastel Payroll 2020 update 1b before installing 1d's full install.  You can email us on [email protected]
