Cannot install Money 2005 in Vista Business

I have read all the threads I can find on this, but none of them addresses my
situation. Here are steps I used:
1. insert disk, click on autorun.exe.
2. Vista says "This Program has known compatibility issues", and says I have
to install Macromedia Flash before installing. Since I have already installed
Adobe Flash Player 9 that should not be an issue, but when I clicked on Check
for Solutions Online it says I have to download Adobe Flash Player first.
Since I already have it, there is something wrong.
What is going on? Mike

Install the program using Vista's Program Compatibility Wizard
and it should run just fine.

Hi Carey, thanks for the suggestion. Used the Wizard and the same thing came
up. I don't know how to get past the stuff that is going on in my item 2 in
my original post. Mike

Uninstall Adobe Flash Player using the uninstall tool:

Afterward, right-click on the IE icon on your Quick Launch toolbar
and select "Run as administrator", then re-install Adobe Flash Player:

Mike,

When I installed Money 2005 (UK version) under Vista Home Premium I had
to install Macromedia Flash V 9.0 from the Macromedia site, but as far
as I could see Version 9 had been pre-installed on the PC, however it
worked..

My real point is - should you get that far and if you have been using an
earlier version, then remember to update Money 2005 *before* you convert
a Money file from and old version otherwise there are compatibility
problems. Maybe those are the 'known issues'.
I had to hide the converted file, do the Money update and then rename
and convert the old version backup file created at the first conversion
in order to get it sorted out.

Tom

That worked! Thanks Carey. Now, the new problem is that I cannot seem to get
the program to load my backups. I removed the Read Only checks, still can't
grab them.

Hi Tom, thanks for reply. I got it installed, thanks to some help from Carey,
but now am having the problem you had with the backups. How do I "hide" my
Money files? And please give me some clue on how to do the other stuff you
suggested once they're hidden. I'm pretty new at this. Mike

Thanks again Carey. This should do it. If I have further problems I'll get
back to you. I really appreciate the time you take to help out like this for
old guys like me. I was fine with XP but Vista is another animal. I like it
but takes some getting used to. Mike (70 yrs young)

Carey, Money 2005 is now on my pc, updated and ready to go. However, now I
have other issues, which perhaps I should post on a non-Vista forum:
1. The program contually wants me to work online, and I don't use the online
services. It will not let me set up an account offline, it seems. So, what
method do I use to remain offline (yes, I always check the Work Offline box).
2. it is always looking for passwords, which I never had to use before. It
insists on my having a Passport login, which I signed up for (temporary
login)...and later found two lending institutions' web icons on my desktop.
Anyway, it doesn't recognize my password, I'm getting pretty fed up.
3. Tried to open the .mny file, no luck. Tried to restore backups, using the
various methods. No luck.
Help...
