Default Re: Money problem

I had actually figured that, and I did know what the msi was, but I was
hoping there was something about it I didn't know, and thank you for your
help. I do appreciate it. I guess I will have to see if I can find a copy
of it somewhere in the world...Used or new....

The money.msi file is not a license acceptance, it is the Money installation
file (msi = microsoft installer). Google ".msi file" for more info. I
think that you misunderstand the Restore function. It save neither data nor
applications. You need a backup or image file to do that. All restore does
is save settings, registry entries, shortcuts, etc. So without any install
disks, Money is gone.

Default Money problem

This is what I did, and hopefully someone will tell me what I can and can't
do. I was working on a pc, and I ask what software they were wanting
removed, and they said "money", and I removed it. Well, after I removed it,
they said they wanted it back. I did a restore on the system, and now it is
asking for the "money.msi" file. This is an OEM install, and they have no
disk, and I can't open the archive files on the restore partition. This
is with Money 2004 if that matters. When I run money it goes through the
install process, and stops asking for the ".msi" file. I think it wants
someone to agree to the license agreement again. What are my options to fix
this? Is there someway to make it think I have agreed to the license
agreement or is that something I shouldn't do? Any input would be
appreciated. Thanks
