What happens when you just try to upgrade like normal, as in putting the CD
in and merely upgrading the existing installation?

I'm pleased to report a successful upgrade from Money 2004 Premium to Money
2005 Deluxe (United States). Below is a summary of steps I used that were
learned from the experiences of others posted on this forum, together with
references to a few helpful Microsoft Knowledge Base documents.

BEFORE INSTALLATION OF MONEY 2005
[1a] Completely backup the PC (e.g., using Ghost 9.0 by Symantec).
[1b] Backup existing Money data file(s).
[2] Remove Money 2004 completely.
[2.a] See the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
[2.a.1] #265111: How to remove Microsoft Money.
[2.a.2] #823213: Money: How to Remove Registry Keys for all Versions of
Money.
[3] In the event of problems, consider the use of the Money Clean tool on
the product CD (in the PSS folder).

INSTALL MONEY 2005

BEFORE INSTALLATION OF MONEY 2005 UPDATE
[4] Create a new Money 2005 data file, and open it.
[5] Download the updates.
[6] Open the original Money 2004 data file, in order to convert it from the
2004 to the 2005 format.
[7] See the Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
[7.a] #890393: You cannot open your data file after you reinstall Money 2005.
