Here is another thing to try: try cleaning the CD with a damp tissue
paper (something that does not have lotion on it). If there is a
film on the CD, that could do it.

Similarly, you could try copying the contents of the CD to a folder
on the hard drive. Run the setup (RunAsAdministrator) from the hard
drive.

Are you saying that you still get the 'The autorun.inf file is
missing or corrupt' message when you "Run as administrator"?

What files are on that disk at the outer level? Open a command
window, CD to the drive, and do a DIR.

If you don't have the ability to do admin access, I don't expect you
will be able to install without the system helpers helping.

Also, some have had problems installing if Norton is installed. They
report that disabling is insufficient.

You have a *really* serious search problem, in that case.

I have not. My laptop is my main computer and it's a work computer.
Is it plausable that Norton (they have the laptop locked down) could be
causing problems?

on a side note - i find it interesting that when i do a google search, the
only problem with autorun.inf, anywhere - is with money.

Did you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), right click
on the install file on the CD and select "Run as administrator"?

2 months later, I just bought the same software from Staples and have
encountered the same problem, on 3 different computers, no less.

I saw one possible solution but I have never installed an autorun patch.
Which leaves me completely stumped.

Anyone else with the same issue?

Type that character string into a Google search box, then press <Enter> .
Click on the second thing on the list.

Default Setup error installing Money Plus Deluxe 2008 on Vista UltimateX64

I bought a Money CD from Staples today and get the following error when
I try to execute the setup.exe file to ininstall the new Money:
'The autorun.inf file is missing or corrupt'. File is there and appears
to be ok.
Any workarounds? I have Money 2006 already isntalled and working ok on
the same computer partition,
