Microsoft Money Plus

[Don Culbertson]

I have still been using Microsoft Money Plus and just upgraded to Windows 10 and boom! Money claims it needs Explorer 6 to run. It still worked with the last version of IE for Windows 7 what ever that was. Is there a work around or am I dead in the water? Thanks.

I'm going to add this thread to my watch-list. I will be researching into this as well in a week or two. At the moment I don't have an answer to give.

You need to change the Version registry value to 9.11.10240.0

Hi John. Can you give the full registry key path so I can edit it. It would be great to still be able to use Money Plus.
Thanks

Hi

I found that changing it in the two locations below fixed it for me:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

It was only when I changed the second as well that it started to work. I changed both the Version and W2kVersion keys to 9.11.10240.0

Hopefully this won't break anything else

Can you explain the exact procedure please for someone not used to this level of technical detail? I tried putting these locations into the command promt, and it said location not found. And if I get there will it be obvious what I need to change? Thanks.

 

[Chris3021]

I managed to find these locations and made the changes, but I'm still getting the message that Money needs IE6 to work. Any suggestions?

 

[Chris3021]

Sorry - I had missed to second location in your suggestions. So in total there are 4 registry entries to change. I've now done them all, and it works. Many thanks for the help.

I have done the registry edit and it also now works, however, when I download a file to import in it keeps crashing and closing the program, any ideas how to fix this?

I'm very far from being an expert, but I found I needed to to open Money in "as administrator" mode - right click on the programme icon in the start menu and select "open as administrator". I was then able to open back up copies of money to continue woring with them. Hope this helps.

Run "regedit" to open the registry, navigate to both the above locations, and then change the version number values for both Version and W2kVersion.

 

[Chris3021]

I'm equally a novice. To get in to regedit key windows key + r, then type regedit.

 

[clifford_cooley]

Type "regedit" in Start Menu search, you should see a listing for the executable.

Sorry, no luck with this. Still closes the program down

Right click on the windows start icon, then you can run program regedit. Navigate the path described earlier then right click on the version and select modify.

Hi,
I'm a real novice and want to be sure I'm in the right place to make these changes
see the screen shot below - - do I make the change in the IE data?

 

[Linda Groesch]

I think I've found the 2nd place to make the change. Could someone please confirm I'm in the right place?
I really really need my money files and sure don't want to have to restore to windows 8.1. Had to do that Friday when my Cisco VNP software hung up my internet connection.

 

[Linda Groesch]

THANK YOU!!!!!! I found the correct places to make these changes and I'm now good to go!
