This is ment as an informative post for compatibility. Below I have posted what I did to install and run an older version of Quickbooks 2004 on Windows 7 x64.
Background; Replaced the treasurer's laptop with an HP Probook 4350s. It of course comes with 7x64, 4 gigs, 7200/320. Not a bad machine. I was under the impression there was a newer version of Quickbooks available, haha jokes on me.
Most importantly run the programs back up on all 'company files'.
Running the install as admin* 1st notice from 7 warns you of known compatability issues. Proceed with install. You may get an error about a font. Do not run after install. After install locate the launch exe (qb) and set compatability to "XP sp3". Transfer the back-up files, I used a flash drive because I ran over the crossover with a chair. Before you launch and import you must have the following files from the old machine if they are not on your new machine;
mfc70.dll
msvcp70.dll
msvcr70.dll
InetClnt.dll
They were located in different folders on XP but I just copied them to the Quickbooks main program files folder.
Why bother with such an older version of Quickbooks? Not my issue to answer, but this will buy the treasurer some time untill the app is upgraded.
*Not sure if running the install as admin was nessesary, but I did.
