I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Vista Ultimate x64 and then Vista
SP1. I then installed Money Plus Deluxe, but when I went to activate it
would not let me. I was able to get tech support to reset my key and got it
activated. Now I cannot update Money. Is there a way to get the update
without having to uninstall Money and then having to call tech support to
have my key reset again?

1) Uninstall your current version of Microsoft Money on your
computer by going to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. If
you have the Trial Version of Microsoft Money installed at this
time, proceed to #5.

2) Open up Internet Explorer and go to
http://www.microsoft.com/money/freetrial_deluxe.mspx and click
"Download the Free Trial".

3) Once the program is installed, open the Microsoft Money program
and once you are prompted to install the update, do so.

4) Once the update is complete, open Microsoft Money and go to
Help> About Microsoft Money, check the version number. The last four
numbers should now be 1415.

5) Close Microsoft Money and go to "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Money
Plus". Right-click on the Microsoft Money Plus folder and select
'copy', then go to your desktop and right-click on there and select
'paste'.

6) Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall the
trial version of Microsoft Money. Reboot your system. Then install
your CD version of the product.

7) Once the program is installed, go to "C:/Program Files" and
delete the "Microsoft Money Plus" folder. Click and drag the
Microsoft Money Plus folder from your desktop into the Program Files
folder or copy and paste. Once the folder is copied to the Program
Files folder, open Microsoft Money and check the version number
again.

8) After you open Microsoft Money and are not being prompted for the
update, delete the 'Microsoft Money Plus' folder from your desktop.

I am still in that loop of needing to update. I am running Vista Business
with a brand new, out of the box verison of Money Plus Deluxe

I am running the progam as administrator.

I have allowed the various money "exe'' files to run by editing the DEP
settings.

In the Task Manager I can see that the daupdate.exe file starts and exectes
but never completes.

Money Plus version is NOT the xxxx.1415 that it should be.

Can anyone make any suggestions that might clean this up please?

Thanks
