Windows 7 and Microsoft Money

[travisedwin]

I have a copy of Windows 7 to replace Vista on my desktop. However, I read in several places that Windows 7 does not support Microsoft Money (not that Vista does a very good job of it).

Could anyone enlighten me on the possible problems involved in running Microsoft Money in Windows 7?

Thank You,

Travis

Money has been discontined. If you have an copy, before you install, just make a system image. If you like the result, use money. If you do not like it just uninstall or use the system image, to go back to a time prior to installation.

I tried to put money 2003 on my Win 7, the only problem that I had, every time I shut down, all the entries disappeared. Istopped using it and designed my own Excel budget, which was the primary use that I had for money.

I have given you the URL to Microsoft Compatablity Center. Check to see if Money should be compatible.

I use Money 2007 and it works perfectly on Win 7 x64 Ultimate

Yes Ive tried in my dad PC with Win 7 and using MS Money 2007 Deluxe that went so smooth, it does work fine -- you can install without problems and the MS list that mentioned not support are incorrectly as Ive emailed to MS and they changed it and put "support" instead of unsupported

I can also vouch that Money 2007 Deluxe works...I have never had any problems using Money installed on W7 Pro x64

Hi, I would like to check with you, when you installed yor Moey 2007, do yo have a message said " the software not running in 32 bit?". I used my Money 2007 deluxe and it can't let me install in my Window 7 64bit.

Hope you can give me some advice.

Thank you

Money is no longer supported. You can get the same functions and features with money sunset for free.

Hi, May I know is there any different between Microsft Money 2007 deluxe and Money Plus sunset?

Hi,

If you're using 64Bit you may wish to try booting using the Advanced Boot Options then selecting Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

This may help with the incompatability during the install. I can verify that 32Bit works fine, even with Money 2003 but cannot check 64Bit at present.

There is no difference between the old editions and Sunset. The only difference from what you remember and Sunset is there is no Online Support. This is now true with the old editions, too; old the new are exactly the same.

Using "Money 2006 Standard" with Windows 7 64 bits since Win7 was released without any problem.

To Mark39: How did you get Microsoft Money to install into Windows 7? I have tried suggestions that state install a new blank key into registry, install in safe mode, etc. I still get an error stating that the autorun.inf key is missing or corrupted. I cannot install. I had performed a clean install of windows on a new hard drive. I can get Versacheck and most of my otehr software programs to install, but not this one. I don't use it for going on the net and download information, but I like the checking and savings account features as well as the bill organizer and debt manager. I use versacheck basically to print my own checks.

is there another work around, or do I simply not use Microsoft money in windows 7? I have a 32 bit system, and want to get away from Vista.

Thanks, any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi naturalstyles,

I did nothing special, just installed the version from here
Microsoft Money Plus 'Sunset' Versions
Money installed absolutely fine with no errors or problems and I have Win 7 x64 Ultimate and Professional and it works fine on both.

Hi, I managed to install Money 2007. However, i need help on the updates. I can't find Money 2007 SP1 and SP2. Anyway, I can download. Thank you

To Mark 39: I didn't download sunset because I already have the disc for Microsoft Money 2007 Deluxe, and since I know that I can install it and run it in vista, I know that the file is not missing or corrupt. I wanted to give this another try, but don't want to be sitting there all night trying to get it to install. I take that back, I did download it and tried to install it with no avail, I received the same error. I am wondering if it is because I have a 32 bit system instead of a 64. Have no clue but really don't want to spend all evening trying to install on something that won't allow me to.

Thanks for your assistance earlier this year.
