Hi,

It is quite simple. I have 5 partitions on my HDD and on my first
partition I've installed the OS (Windows folder) and on partition D
I've installed 2 folders "Program Files" (ProgramFilesDir = D:\Program
Files) and "Documents and Settings" (ProfilesDir = D:\Documents and
Settings).

If I after OS installation change registry field ProgramFilesDir back
to "C:\Program Files" I can install MS Money without any problems
(after restart of course) .

Best regards

I don't know that error, and I don't understand the sentence above.
Money insists on being installed on the same drive as is the OS.

The Money data file can be on any drive.

Hi,

I try to install MS Money on my PC and I get immediately the following
error message:

"We're sorry, but you do not have power user or administrator
privileges on this computer. Please have someone with power user
privileges on this computer install money."

It makes no sense, because I'm an administrator and it must be a
common problem because I get this message with Money 2005, 2006 (trial
versions too).

I tried to install Money with some other power user but I didn't
succeed.

And what is interessting I know the reason (from the user side) of this
problem.
I get this error ONLY when I change the default "Program files"
drive letter form "C" to "D" during unattended WinXP (SP2)
installation.

Can anybody confirm this unexpected "feature" of the Money installation
program?
