Step-by-Step Solutions to Fix QuickBooks Payroll Error 15102
✅ Solution 1: Switch to Single-User Mode
Open QuickBooks.
Go to File > Switch to Single-User Mode.
Try downloading the payroll update again.
This often resolves the issue if you were working in multi-user mode.
✅ Solution 2: Verify Your Payroll Subscription
Go to Employees > My Payroll Service > Account/Billing Information.
Log in and ensure your payroll subscription is active.
If it’s expired, renew it and then attempt the update again.
✅ Solution 3: Check and Reset the Download Location
Open Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop > Options tab.
Verify that “Shared Download” is set to Yes.
Make sure the download location path is correct.
It should resemble:

If the path is incorrect or inaccessible, correct it and retry the update.
✅ Solution 4: Run QuickBooks as Administrator
Close QuickBooks.
Right-click the QuickBooks icon and choose Run as Administrator.
Try updating the payroll again.
This ensures QuickBooks has full permissions to make necessary changes.
✅ Solution 5: Remap the Drive or Use UNC Path
If you’re accessing QuickBooks over a network:
Open the mapped drive.
Note the UNC path (like \\server\foldername).
Use that UNC path in place of the mapped drive path for updates.
