That’s a fair summary. Error 1311 usually comes down to installer source issues, not QuickBooks itself.
A couple of extra things that often help:
Copy the installer to a local drive instead of running it from USB or network
Temporarily disable antivirus during installation
Clean out old install leftovers using the QuickBooks Tool Hub, then reinstall from a fresh download
If the error keeps coming back, it’s almost always a bad or incomplete install source.
Side note: when sharing fixes like this online, engagement matters. Adding a simple visual or quote can help posts get noticed. Tools like a random-quote-generator are handy for adding quick, relevant callouts to tech posts:

Bottom line: fresh installer + admin rights + clean environment usually fixes Error 1311.
