QuickBooks Error 15103 typically occurs during software updates and is often due to permissions issues or conflicts with security software. Causes include incorrect file permissions, antivirus/firewall blocking, or corrupted update files.

To resolve it:

1. Run QuickBooks as Administrator: Right-click the QuickBooks icon and select "Run as Administrator."
2. Check Internet Connection: Ensure a stable connection.
3. Update QuickBooks Manually: Download the latest updates from the QuickBooks website.
4. Verify Antivirus/Firewall Settings: Temporarily disable or configure them to allow QuickBooks.
5. Repair QuickBooks Installation: Use the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool.
